His love for country extended beyond sports as he served as Deputy Chair and member of the National Carnival and Cultural Development Committee for several years. He was also a founding member of the Mt. Gay Development Community committee, a village where he now resides.

Having been a member of the Cadet Corps at his alma mater, the Grenada Boys Secondary School, Mr. George was instrumental in reviving the Cadet Corps in Grenada, and served as its Commandant from 2009 to 2015 and still holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
