About Me

I love to be inspired. Be it a flower growing on a sidewalk to climbing the Great Wall of China. Inspiration is everywhere.Since I was a child, I dreampt of one day being a clothing designer. When I was 5 years old, I would be asked, "George what do you want to be when you grow up?" I would respond, "a fashion designer." Little boys don't grow up to be fashion designers, they grow up to be doctors and lawyers - or policemen.Nonetheless, during my Junior and Senior years at DePaul University (where I received a BS in Operations Management, Manufacturing and Purchasing), I started flying to Milan and Paris to see what I could do to "jump start" my dream.After finishing DePaul, I moved with a small staff to Milan, I was only 21 years old. And that was the beginning of the beginning.I've lived in London, Paris, Milan, and Athens. At one time I commuted to all those cities like those taking the bus to work. It was when business started to grow in the States that I moved back.

My Interests

My "Children"Every year I travel between 200,000 to 250,000 miles a year (a plane ride around the globe is 20,000 miles, so figure ten to twelve round the world trips a year!). I love traveling and exploring.I've traveled extensively all over the world - over 100 cities covering about fifty countries. This is my passion, it's where I seek inspiration, where I get to clear my mind. I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures.I read about the history and peoples before getting on a plane and visiting the area. I love history, and the principles of cause and effect.

I'd like to meet:

If I could, I would love to meet (after Jesus, in no particular order): Jesus, Leonard Da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Oprah, Nelson Mandela, Ben Franklin, Ghengis Khan, Dalai Lama, Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill...the list would be endless.

Movies:

Most the movies I see are on an airplane (seriously). My most favourite movie ever is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" - the old one.

Television:

Don't get to watch TV as much, so I'll buy the DVD's of the show's season. I'm hooked on Nip/Tuck and all the CSIs

Books:

My library at home has literally thousands of books I've purchased from my travels throughout the years.I subscribe to dozens of magazines, from "Global Traveler" (yes, there is a magazine out there called that) to "FHM" to "Newsweek." I like to keep abreast of current events.I also like to read history books ranging from WWII to the Gulag in Soviet Russia.Self Help books are also something I enjoy. My favourite book is "Creating Affluence" by Chopra
