Many people have anxiety, and his family is no exception. He passionately studies, researches, and writes about coping mechanisms and self-regulation strategies to help families manage anxiety and ADHD, overcome roadblocks, and thrive. He is also a personal, professional, and executive development and productivity writer.  In addition to Wags Over Worries, he founded Thrive Mindset Coaching & Consulting (https://www.thrivemindset.com) , a service that empowers professionals and executives to exceed their potential and achieve their goals. 

George was born in Jersey City, NJ, with a "small" cohort of 8 siblings, including his identical twin brother (yes, he looks like him!). He was blessed to be raised in a blended Italian, Irish, and Puerto Rican family.

He is known to help others achieve their goals and smash through barriers, including  20+ years of experience as a Human Resources - Talent Acquisition Leader, assisting clients in designing and implementing workforce strategies, interviewing, assessing, and hiring top talent for leading biopharmaceutical organizations.

Beyond his professional pursuits, George passionately donates to charitable causes, works on DIY home improvement projects, and cherishes quality time with his loved ones, including the Golden Retriever, Charlie Mae, and the Silver Labrador Retriever, the one and only Maya Grace!
