Bio
Dr. George, originally from Springfield, Virginia, began his education at the University of Florida, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology. He then earned a Master of Arts degree in physical anthropology and a Master of Science degree in biomedical science, both from Florida Atlantic University. Finally, he earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in pathobiology, with a focus in neuroanatomy from the UniversityÌýof Missouri.
Before coming to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï, Dr. George taught gross anatomy and neuroanatomy as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at several universities including Florida Atlantic University, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and the University of Missouri. He also worked as a Postdoctoral Research Instructor of Anatomy at Stony Brook University.
Coming to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï, Dr. George couldn’t be happier with his new home: “I am really excited to live in Colorado and toÌýbe part of the anatomy team here at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï, teaching future physicians all the wonders of the human brain.”
He has been married for just over a year to his “amazing wife” and, together, they enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring nature. In his free time, he admits that he still enjoys playing with Legos, as well as building things and taking them apart again: “My mom says it’s probably why I became an anatomist.”
