George started training in November of 1990 at Shin Karate Institute in Philadelphia at the age of 11.  He trained there under Mr. Todd Morrison and Master Nate Gordon until he reached the rank of Cho Dan Bo.  After an injury just before his black belt test, George stopped training for over a year.  When he returned to Tang Soo Do, it was at a new school; Pal Che Tang Soo Do, which was much closer to his home in Folcroft, PA.  When George started at Pal Che under Master Ron Raver, Master Raver made him start again as a white belt for a probationary period, and then retest for his rank.  After succeeding there, George attained his Black Belt in 1998.  Soon after this, George's training slowed down once again as he began college at Villanova University.  In 2002, George tested for the rank of E-dan.  At this point in time, he also reconstructed the school's demo team, which he became leader of.  Since then, Pal Che's White Tigers have been a reckoning force in the Region 8 creativity competition.  Someday he would like to open his own school, and loves to teach both children and adults.  Outside of Tang Soo Do, he is a physics teacher at Springfield High School, and enjoys music very much.
