George is the New Media Planner for the Community Media Center (CMC), and is acting as “project manager” for The Rapidian. As a nearly life-long Grand Rapidian, George is incredibly excited for the chance to help create a new local outlet for participatory culture.

George gets really excited about: multidisciplinary art projects, bicycle commuting, cassette culture, the shift from DIY to Do It Together, fake powerpoint presentations, and really depressing reggae jams.

George lives in the Heritage Hill neighborhood with a couple of roommates and some cats. He recently received considerable grief after listing a quinoa as a desert island food item. This summer he built his own weather ball. Like Denise, George will probably also end up a cat lady one day.

He is generally weirded out to be writing in the third person, but has come to accept that this is, apparently, how things like this work.
