connecting people with nature through his writing, and through ecotourism and
expedition travel. Currently chief network officer at Rockjumper Worldwide
Birding Adventures, which operates over 300 tours annually, George is also a
professional wildlife guide with 20 years of experience. He has led trips to
all seven continents, and from 2012 - 2016, he managed the events program for
the American Birding Association, and served as an instructor at ABA young
birder camps.
He has authored two books on birds including Better Birding: Tips, Tools,
and Concepts for the Field (with co-author Brian Sullivan) and The ABA Field
Guide to the Birds of Pennsylvania. Based in Philadelphia, George spends much
of his free time outdoors, but also loves Philly sports teams, and the city’s
dining scene and nightlife. Copies of George’s book “Better Birding …” will be
available for sale at the meeting.
