Born January 12, 1950. Raised in the southeast section of Washington DC and graduated from Anacostia High School, class of 1968.

He graduated in the Class of 1972 from Pennsylvania Military College with a degree in accounting, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

Upon leaving the service George worked briefly for Marriott Corp. as an accountant. In the spring of 1978, following his passion for law enforcement, he joined the University of Maryland Police Department, where he rose through the ranks and earned numerous awards and commendations, until retiring from there as assistant chief in November 2002 (attaining the rank of major).

Shortly thereafter he joined the George Mason University Police Department and served as assistant chief until retiring in 2013.
