Ultimately, George felt a clear calling to step into ministry work that allows him to stand up for children in the foster system and help connect families with the life-changing mission of foster care. Motivated by Christ’s call to care for “the least of these,” George is passionate about mobilizing the Church across Somerset and Cambria Counties to open their hearts and homes to vulnerable children.

George is married to his wife, Jenny, and together they are raising a growing family. They have three biological sons, are expecting another baby, and are currently fostering two additional children. Their own foster care journey has given them firsthand insight into both the challenges and the profound hope found within the child welfare system. They have personally seen the dramatic and redemptive changes that can occur when children are removed from unsafe environments and placed into loving, supportive homes.

They have also been deeply impacted by other families who have wrapped around them with support, making it possible for them to foster. George is passionate about helping to build those same support networks so more families feel able to say “yes,” and more children can find safe, loving homes.
