Get to know George
What was your first job?
I worked for an electric bike start-up. Our design, engineering, marketing, logistics, and sales team worked out of the same warehouse where we kept our inventory... Having so many people with such vastly different roles in a single room was both exhilarating and chaotic.
What's something people are surprised to learn about you?
I LOVE video games. In my heyday, I achieved a Rank 1 arena rating in World of Warcraft 2v2 arenas (IYKYK).
What’s your all-time favorite movie, TV show, or book?
Controversial opinion, but Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Every time I see the battle for Geonosis scene I get goose bumps.
