A master storyteller, George directed impactful interviews and special reports with presidents, first ladies, entertainers, athletes, and other influential figures. His dedication to excellence also extended to the Guild where he served on our National Board, and in 2007 was honored with the DGA Award for Lifetime Achievement in News Direction for his contributions to his craft.

The DGA community shares our condolences with George's loved ones at this time."
