Born in Papua New Guinea, George is a proud Torres Strait Islander who grew up on Yorke Island before moving to Australia, the country he now calls home.
For many years he pursued a variety of professions, gaining invaluable skills and experience in areas such as construction and hospitality.
These are now very useful experiences which he can apply to his role at McCathies Furniture Plus, where he now enjoys working with the team assembling and delivering furniture.
With a varied and diverse background, George has witnessed warfare, having joined the army, and headed on a peace-keeping mission to East Timor where he witnessed many atrocities.
He is now very happy to enjoy the quiet rural life and, as a family man, he loves raising his children in the Burdekin.
In his own time, he plays football, heads out with friends for a day fishing, camping, or bushwalking.
Having seen warzones and travelled to different places, George feels a lot of love and respect for his life, the people he loves and the world around him.
This is evident in the way he handles each item of furniture and inspects all products with great care, ensuring every customer receives the most perfect piece of furniture they had hoped for.
