In the Past

Currently

George has taken a position with ARIA Therapeutics & Wellness, based in Mercy Medical Center and Integrative Physical Therapy, in Durango.  In addition to working within a medical based practice George is putting the finishing touches on an updated teaching manual for Event Sports Massage, something he has been teaching for over 15 years.  He has taken on the position of Delegate for the Colorado Chapter, AMTA and jumped onto the Event Sports Massage Team.  “I am looking forward to being involved with the chapter in both capacities and also look forward to working with some longtime friends and meeting new folks here in Colorado.”  George spends as much time as possible being with his wife Lori Ann (Also a Massage Therapist), and daughters, Ayana (6) and Giselle (3).  They enjoy biking, skiing, hiking, swimming, soccer, bouldering and anything else that has them playing outdoors.
