Founder/President, 47 years of service

George built GeoCorp from the ground up, incurring deep credit card debt to do so after being denied a business loan, and has nurtured it from its humble beginnings into the fast-growing industry leader it is today.  But George is never one to rest on his laurels, and still employs the same level of dedication, drive, and hard work that he has from day one. He leads GeoCorp by example, building a similarly dynamic team of career oriented professionals who embrace innovation, seek perfection, and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. In turn, they are rewarded with a clean, safe work environment, excellent healthcare and profit-sharing, and the limitless future that comes from a company with such potential growth.
