As the head chaplain for both the local fire and police departments, as well as a resilience advocate for the medical staff and employees of one of the largest health providers in the area, he is recognized as a personal friend, mentor, and life coach to many.
His remarkable ability to support individuals during their most challenging crises and overwhelming traumatic moments stems from his own journey of healing, hope, and recovery.
In "Life After Ground Zero" George tells the story of how he and his family fled El Salvador following an assassination attempt on his politically active parents. For a young child, growing up in a new country and culture was difficult. As a young man, George served as part of the rescue and recovery team at Ground Zero after 9/11. Healing from these and other traumatic experiences, and later overcoming his alcohol dependence serve as an inspiring backdrop to the evidence-based strategies for healing and inner wellness he shares in this book.
