George was a long-time member of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church from the 1950s and a lay leader in the church holding multiple offices over many years. He deeply regarded his church. Professionally, he was a civil engineer and worked at the US Corps of Engineers before he co-founded his own company, A&A Engineers, Inc., with his partner, Howard Anderson.
