George's Story
Life
After graduating NFA in 1971, I tried a variety of jobs and college, but hadn't a clue what I wanted to do with my life. I became a lead vocalist in the Norwich, CT-based band "New Image" in 1973. The group became my full-time profession from 1973-79 as we traveled across the USA and Canada performing in show lounges and nightclubs. We released an original 45 RPM record in 1977 which received local and area radio airplay. I left the group in 1979 but continued to perform on weekends with the local bands "Urban Renewal", "Generic Band", "Slam", and "The Slam Band" from 1979 through 1990. After briefly returning to CT In 2011 after 20-plus years I joined other musicians my age performing songs primarily from the 60's, 70's and 80's in the band "Roadwork" from 2011 to 2013.

From 2006-2009, in my spare time between business travel and working from home, I offered my services as a part time District Court Bailiff for the State of New Hampshire. Since April 2014, I have worked as a self employed Safeguards & Security Consultant for various government contracts, including a security contract supporting the United Arab Emirates military in safeguarding the country's new civilian nuclear power program.
I am semi-retired, but continue to provide consulting services to the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense on a part time basis.
I was married to my wonderful wife from 1975 until her passing in November of 2022. We have two married daughters, plus two grandchildren. Besides CT, we had lived in MA, LA, NM, VA and NH. For 16 months I also lived as an expat in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I currently reside in Madison, MS.
