Master of Living Well

"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, he became a butterfly"....

Husband, Father, Grandfather, Friend, Special Education Teacher, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Practitioner (Healing Touch), Personal Trainer, Nutritional & Wellness Specialist, Chronic Disease Self-Management Facilitator, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Integrative Medicine student, and Inspirational Speaker. Awarded the World Organization of Natural Medicine Humanitarian Outreach Order of Merit. For a man who saw life only as an endless ocean of possibility, love, kindness, gentleness and beauty, it is a mighty challenge to encapsulate his life in a few sentences. This father of four and beloved husband of Paula made every moment of his life count. Even the seconds leading up to his last breath he was able to express love and assure those around him that everything was beautiful. While Carl George was taken too soon from this Earth, he has left a legacy of humanitarianism that reaches far beyond all the teams of basketball he trained, the students he taught, the thousands he inspired through motivational speaking, the throngs he taught to believe-in and love themselves and the endless gifts to his family of teaching how to make stepping stones out of obstacles. He imprinted on everyone his keen understanding of the value of living every moment, living with positivity and being the master of your own destiny. He gives credit to his parents for living well, "I thought they showed me how to die with dignity and courage, I was wrong, they gave me the tools to live, when the odds were against me."
