​George began his running career as a freshman at Holmdel HS in his native New Jersey.  After being convinced by his high school coach that trying out for varsity golf was not in his best interest, George decided to trade in his putter for a pair of Pegasus. George was state champion in the 1600m and 3200m on the track, and a Foot Locker finalist in cross country. After high school, George competed for Princeton, where he was an Ivy-League scorer.

George took his redshirt year at Boston College while completing an MBA, but was unfortunately sidelined due to injury. George hopes to contribute to the team successes at GRC, while becoming the most decorated neighborhood 5k champion in the District. George consults for clients in the National Security Sector.
