The home office is located on the edge of the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio, where George has worked as a TV anchor and radio talk show host for more than two decades. But the Academy is actually a loosely knit community of broadcast, print, and media professionals, along with a growing number of internet marketers, who provide expertise to groups who need publicity but can't afford an advertising agency. George coordinates the efforts and the resources of those who are associated in various ways with the Academy.

George offers a wide range of perspectives to those seeking free advertising and
publicity. After leaving baseball, he landed a job as weeknight sportscaster at WTAJ-TV in Altoona, PA. Opportunities followed in West Palm Beach, FL, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN.
