Education Description
George and his wife Chree, who holds a MA in counseling and BS in psychology, find great joy in doing the hard, meaningful work that matters.

In their words, their goal is to “erode the walls that separate people and bring community together one spoon at a time”. George and Chree have been married to for nearly 28 years and have three amazing kids (Langhston – 25yrs, Ellis – 23yrs, and Symone – 20yrs).
