‘I’m a lifelong storyteller.’
What’s my story? Well, I got my first typewriter in kindergarten. Somehow Santa Claus had heard my stories of how much my classmates and I loved banging on the old-fashioned typewriter during indoor playtime. By fourth grade, I really wanted to know how to use quote marks in the little stories I wrote. My teacher said we weren’t learning that yet, so clearly I was ahead of my time.
In high school in Ohio, I went to journalism camp (nerd, I know!) and wrote for the teen page of the Dayton Daily News, my hometown newspaper. Later, I became a recurring intern and still remember the first time I saw the presses rolling and smelled the pungent ink. I went on to work in newsrooms in Lexington, Kentucky; Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte, North Carolina and even Paris, France. For much of my reporting career I covered business news, specifically personal finance and investing.
After my journalism career and before starting By George, I worked in corporate communications for Wells Fargo, where I helped mutual fund managers and asset management executives go beyond the numbers to tell their stories.
I’m a lifelong storyteller. I’ve always loved hearing and telling other people’s stories. My team and I can’t wait to hear your stories and spread them far and wide.

You stories are worth getting out there, so let’s get them out there!
Press and shoutouts
It’s our job to get our clients in the news (and do we ever!), but sometimes we’re the ones featured. Pretty cool!
Because telling them … well, it’s our passion,
By George.
