George was born in Lebanon and immigrated to the United States when he was five years old with his parents and two sisters. His parents decided to leave Lebanon after enduring nearly 20 years of a civil war that claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Lebanese – including George’s uncle who was killed at age twenty while fighting to defend his homeland. His parents knew that while they loved their Lebanon, it would be best for their children to be raised in the United States.

George now lives in Phoenix, Arizona and is a father to two little boys. He runs multiple successful small businesses engaged in politics, political data, and public policy. He has worked on projects at the local, state and national level spanning over 15 states. His passion for politics first began when his parents would talk to him about their experience in the civil war and all that it meant to them.

George grew up loving Lebanon from afar, visiting only twice in the first 15 years after moving to the US. But as an adult, he found himself drawn there more and more frequently, discovering for himself the culture and people that had shaped his parents. Now, George travels regularly to Lebanon for work – he co-founded a data analytics company based in Beirut – and to visit his family. He draws strength and pride from his Lebanese identity and feels a compelling desire to invest in Lebanon and do his part to realize its potential. With the recent crises – both economic and civil (including the recent explosion at the Beirut Port) – he was inspired to found Lebnan Albi (which translated means, Lebanon my heart) for the purpose of financially assisting individuals who are on fixed, government incomes. While now a proud American citizen, he will always owe much of the best of his character and drive to the country of his birth and heritage.
