About Me

George started writing professionally at 16 with an interview of Ray Charles. He founded a leading NYC multilingual marketing communications company, Avekta Productions, with his wife, serving Fortune 100 C-level clients, politicians, and celebrities. Avekta produced in every continent of the world except Antarctica.

George has published hundreds of magazine articles and his three non-fiction books (published by McGraw Hill and Thomson Course) on desktop video production and computer animation revolutionized the industry just in time for YouTube.

George's first novel, The Wood Pusher is the result of deciding to write fiction full time (except for articles he writes here and in Forza | The Magazine About Ferrari)  because he enjoys the pursuit of perfection at any cost.

George is the father two; a West Point graduate, veteran and mother of his three grandson - and the artist, El Chimu Grigio (@el_chimu), whose Instagram fan base exceeds 20,000.

 

I am the grandson of four ethnic Greeks from Turkey who met in America after escaping the same village.

 

I also sing Byzantine liturgy and of course, I dance!

The private […]

Secret Colors Attract Women

Okay, this article is going to sound lame at first, but hear me out. Imagine that you had an inside track on a simple, weird technique that could work like a top-notch fishing lure, or a radar homing beacon, or like the smell of coffee and bacon in the morning when it comes to getting […]

Can Ya Get a Ten-Foot 2×4 in a GM SUV?

I recently got the full engineering lecture on the new GMC Terrain from Vehicle Chief Engineer for Global Compact SUVs at General Motors, Mark Cieslak, and you tech nerds will love what I found out.  And yes, because the front seat now folds down flat like all the back seats, you can slide a 10’ […]

When Guys Consider Computers…

When guys consider computers, there are two main categories:  Entertainment and Business.  While you can often find a laptop that works for both, eventually, the climb up the capabilities ladder will split one from the other.  The split happens as you head north of $1,500 so we’re talking some serious iron here, or brushed aluminum […]
