Gary E. George is a very accomplished individual.
- A mechanical engineer who worked on the Convair F111 bomber
- A great pilot who has owned several planes and has flown throughout the U.S.
- An accomplished sailboat captain who has navigated between California and many islands in the South Pacific in his 35 foot yacht
- Served as a vice president of a major corporation
During his years of employment, he quickly rose to the position of vice president for a computer service company, and opened and managed offices in Wichita, Kansas; Seattle, Washington; and San Diego, California.
During his working life, he amassed a sizable fortune so that he could retire at age 45 and concentrate on his investments and philanthropy.
In his retirement, he designed and built an off-grid home that was totally self-sufficient with its own well and solar power units to enable him to survive in a comfortable lifestyle in the event the grid failed. During the construction of his home, he designed and built hydraulically-powered tools to assist his building efforts. He became an expert welder and assembled all of his work-saving devices.
Although Gary could have patented many of his inventions and received royalties from manufacturers, instead, he chose to provide free advice to others who were interested in building them. Being very generous with his time and knowledge, he mentored several persons who were forever grateful for his help and friendship.
