Biographical Information
Kevin George, age 47, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and spent most of his early childhood in Iowa. At age 9 he lived for a year in southern Texas while his parents learned Spanish. When he was 10 he went to Argentina along with his parents who moved there to be Baptist missionaries. At age 19 Kevin returned to the USA to work and study.
Kevin's first wife had Hodgkin's disease and passed away in 1996. After spending almost 4 years as a single father of two young boys, Kevin married Daiana (pronounced Diana) from Argentina. They have had four more children, three boys and a girl.
Kevin has a college degree in secondary education, and is self-taught in various sciences and electronics. He also went to an aircraft mechanic school, and has an aircraft mechanic's license. Kevin also studied for a paralegal degree, which he finished, with a specialization in business law.
Kevin has the heart and soul of an entrepreneur. He has started several businesses, with various degrees of success, including a pressure-washing business, West Texas Scales (sales and service of weighing equipment), Aerotronics, Inc. - an avionics business (aviation electronics) formerly located at the Grayson County Airport, and his latest - a sophisticated digital calibration system he designed and built for testing aircraft air data systems (prestonpressure.com). Kevin is a creative person that is always looking for solutions to problems. He has developed interests in many fields, including energy, aviation, space, health, economics, politics, law, and spiritual and cultural matters.
After living in Texas for about 15 years, in 2009 Kevin moved his family to a rural property in south-east Oklahoma. This location was chosen because of the natural beauty of the area, and the more simple lifestyle of the people, who still value the old ways of doing things.
As a born-again Bible believer, Kevin is very concerned with what is happening to the families and churches in America. The legal and cultural climate has become a menace to our freedoms and God-given rights. Families and churches are separate jurisdictions from the sphere of civil government. Proactive leadership is needed to support these key institutions that form the foundations of our society. Kevin's personal beliefs and values are not just campaign rhetoric. He teaches these things to his children, as he attempts to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4)
Kevin is currently a member of Chocktaw Baptist Church, located west of Idabel on highway 37. He has also participated in missions work, including a 6-month trip to Argentina in 1999.
Education is also an important issue for Kevin. As he was raised, he attended a combination of public, private, Christian, and home schools. His children have also attended Christian schools, public schools, and are presently being home schooled. Kevin also taught in a Christian school, teaching physics, Spanish, biology, Bible, and physical science subjects.
Kevin has had an interest in political events and issues for many years. His greatest concerns are in how families, churches, and culture are being impacted by the exaltation of the State at the expense of our personal and social God-given rights.
