While at Citigroup, he was consistently ranked internally as #1 or #2 out of more than 80 of his national
peers, and was last promoted to Director. His interest in real estate and his entrepreneurial spirit led him
to found Live Oak Group, LLC in 2004, and co-found Live Oak Property Group, LLC in 2005, where to this
day he continues to work on several large mixed-use developments in Georgia and South Carolina.
During his time at Live Oak Property Group, George has worked on entitlements and pre-development
planning for a large mixed-use project - Genesis Landing - in the Town of Ridgeland, the county seat of
Jasper County, South Carolina. Located within the Urban Growth Boundary of the Town Ridgeland,
Genesis Landing is anticipated to provide the area with a stronger foundation in economic development
through light industrial, research & development, business office, educational, workforce housing, and
other land uses in appropriate areas.
In 2008, George came to the realization that one of the best ways to approach real estate is to reinvest in
what already exists – in this case, by applying existing and proven technology to make our in-place
buildings, campuses, installations and cities more energy productive. As a result, he founded Arcadian
Energy Solutions as a way to bring together entities from various disciplines to share the latest thinking on
applying energy efficiency solutions to the built environment.
George was born in New York City and was raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from the
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute high school as student government president and MSA wrestling champion,
and was fortunate enough to receive numerous college scholarships including the Maryland Distinguished
Scholar Award, the Baltimore City Student Athlete Award, and the Martin Marietta Scholarship Award. He
graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1992 from the James Clark School of Engineering at
the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a concentration in
Economics. He earned his Master of Business Administration with honors and distinction in 1998 from the
Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME); the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE); the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE); the Urban Land Institute (ULI), the
Savannah branch of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC); and various other local community
organizations. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst ® and a LEED ® Accredited Professional. He is also a
licensed real estate broker in Georgia and South Carolina. George keeps himself involved in the
community by serving on several boards including Ariel Savannah Angel Partners (ASAP) and the Ardsley
Park / Chatham Crescent Neighborhood Association (APCCNA), and also through his involvement in
leading a mathematics tutoring program in support of children from St. Paul's Episcopal Church and the
Savannah Children's Choir. George is an avid member of the University of Maryland Terrapin Club. He
currently resides in Savannah, Georgia with his wife Jacquelyn, and daughters Abigail and Lucy.
