| Info | George was born and raised in Endwell near Binghamton, NY. He was active in sports and extracurricular activities throughout high school, graduating from Seton Catholic Central in 1994.
George obtained the Thomas Watson Scholarship from IBM, which helped him pay for college at Villanova University. He also worked for three summers during college in manufacturing at IBM’s plant in Endicott.
Upon graduating from Villanova magna cum laude in 1998, George was accepted to the University of Notre Dame’s volunteer teacher training program. He taught high school in Louisiana for two years and obtained a Master’s Degree from Notre Dame in 2000.
In Washington, DC, George taught for a brief time as a long term substitute in inner city DC Public Schools before landing a position with Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey in 2001, then the Chairman of House Veterans’ Affairs Committee and Vice Chairman of the House International Relations Committee.
George worked on foreign affairs, business, immigration and senior issues for Congressman Smith. He was fortunate to handle part of Smith’s foreign affairs portfolio in the days following the 9/11 terrorists attacks and assisted on several bills that were signed into law, including the Victims of Trafficking Protection Act.
In 2005, George returned to the Binghamton area to teach Social Studies and Theology classes at his alma mater, Seton Catholic Central. He also teaches government at Broome Community College.
In 2005, he also married Diana Quintero. They have a young son George Joseph, and live in a house in Endwell near George’s parents.
