George moved to Minnesota from New York in 1977 to attend college (Winona State) and meet his wife (no, it was not an arranged marriage), Jana, who together have 2 children (Dane - 19 and Kaari - 14). He's worked with the ACNielsen Company for 23 years doing syndicated market research support and consulting.
He has been involved in numerous sports his entire life (baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, tennis, racquetball, volleyball, golf, and ultimately, wallyball) and finds wallyball the most fun and challenging. Wallyball is a great way to work up a sweat and improve your conditioning, more so than any other sport.
Began playing wallyball in late 1980's at the Jewish Community Center in St. Louis Park with some other corporate members. He relocated to Green Bay, WI for 4 years (1990-1994) and began a league for the Newcomers Association, where they played at the Western Racquet Club. Upon returning to Minnesota in 1994, he started playing several years later at the Radisson Fitness Center in Plymouth with some co-workers (Justin, Kurt, and Jeanne who now play at Central Courts) in a league. Looking for a more challenging environment, all 4 of us started playing at Central Courts in Columbia Heights; we have not left since that time.
