George was born and raised in "Philly," Philadelphia, PA to be precise. After high school, he entered St. Charles B. Seminary in Philly to study for the priesthood. Decided it was not his calling. He then worked in the healthcare industry for 30-plus years after graduating college from LaSalle University. He attained his M.A. in Human Services Administration from Rider University in New Jersey and taught there as an Adjunct Professor for five years.
In October of this year, 2023, George wrote and published his first novel, The Judas Tree - Book 1. If you love great characters, a plausible plot set in the year 2075, and dystopian literature... You'll love this first of a trilogy you won't soon forget.
Going back several years... In 1997 George had an epiphany that changed his life. He discovered he was an alcoholic! No, he did not drink every day; was never arrested for a DUI; never lost a job due to his drinking; no one ever told him to stop drinking. You see, George was what some call a "functional alcoholic." He had a six-figure job, a beautiful wife, five wonderful kids, and lived in a huge home overlooking a meandering creek in Bucks County, PA. Life on the outside looked grand. But on the inside... life was dark. Yet, through reading a memoir of another drunk, he discovered he had that same disease. This led to his writing his first book: "Is Anybody There? Memoir of a "Functional Alcoholic."
His second book was just published, "The Best Sermons You've Never Heard!" In his search for the Truth, George has always found solace in the Carpenter from Nazareth, Jesus the Christ. These 15 sermons delved into Christ's teachings, mainly his parables. Hopefully, George's stories within the story help guide that next soul in searching for the Truth... to discover the God/man and his teachings of love and forgiveness.
George still lives in the Philly area with his bride of many years. Those five kids are all grown and have blessed the family with eleven grandkids who call him "Pop"... which melts his heart.
