When asked what type of projects he finds most rewarding, George stated, “I find it very fulfilling working on projects that have a social component to them. Projects that involve real estate development of distressed and abandoned land aimed at providing affordable housing or schools and/or other public services that directly impact people’s lives and revitalize whole communities. Over the years I had the opportunity and pleasure on working with some not-for-profit organizations on such projects and they have been very memorable.” finished George.
