George has been publishing online since 1999, when he built his first Tripod journal site to support his high school’s varsity ice hockey teams. As a veteran researcher and media relations professional, George thrives on storytelling, and develops creative strategies and uses cutting-edge tactics to reach audiences that matter to his clients.
A native of Nashville, Tennessee, George developed social media and member communications programs for the Public Sector Group at TechAmerica in Washington, DC, a 501(c)(6) global trade association of IT companies, drawing on his roots in online political activism. At the Cato Institute in Washington, an internationally-renowned public policy research organization, he helped integrate communications, marketing, and development strategies using new media tactics while he was in graduate school.
After earning a master of public policy from American University in Washington, George joined CRAFT | Media/Digital, the first consulting firm in the nation’s capital to marry traditional and new media services under one roof, where he met Adsworth Media principal Rachel Dodsworth as the two collaborated on client campaigns. George served political, advocacy, and Fortune 100 clients at CRAFT as Director of Intel/PR before founding his own research and communications consulting practice in 2012. He was an adjunct professor of American government in the department of political science at his undergraduate alma mater Belmont University in Nashville during the 2014-2015 school year.
Though he spends much of his time hitting home runs for his clients, George continues to blog when his schedule allows, and he is a published opinion writer in both local and national outlets. Furthermore his personal political and policy-related blog posts have been cited in The Atlantic, POLITICO, and the Daily Caller, and by the Instapundit, Hot Air!, Think Progress, Crooks & Liars, and techPresident blogs. An avid Nashville Predators (NHL) fan, his personal hockey blog posts have been cited by Yahoo! News’s Puck Daddy blog.
George is an avid angler and cyclist, and enjoys trying new recipes his beautiful wife Emily. They married in 2014 and now reside in Nashville with their three rescued mutts. You can follow George’s prolific tweets at @stackiii.
