Born in New York, George lived his early years in Wilmington, N.C. He graduated from North Carolina State University earning a degree in civil engineering. Most of his career was spent at Metcalf and Eddy, specializing in environmental engineering. He became chief of specifications and later retired in 1995 as a vice president. During his career, he was involved with many professional organizations. Dear to his heart was the Construction Specification Institute where he served as chapter president in 1981. He was honored with two of the Institute's highest awards of Fellowship and The Institute's President Plaque… His participation in the Masons and Royal Arch were rewarding to him not only in dedication but also in valued friendships.

Throughout his life, he was a faithful steward of St. Demetrios Church in Weston. He relished traveling, photography, tennis, woodworking, and in his later years, he enjoyed the sport of golf.
