George was born to Glenn Willard and Mary Darlene (Dodson) Peters in North Platte, NE. He graduated from North Platte High School in 1961 and earned a Bachelor's Degree from Iowa State University in 1967. George taught biology at Benson High School in Omaha from 1968 to 1970. He completed a Master's Degree in Entomology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1972.

George spent much of his career as a steward of this country's natural resources, working as an Environmental Planner at Waccamaw Regional Planning and Development Council in Georgetown, SC, at Southern Tier Central Regional Planning and Development Board in Corning, NY, and at Upland Industries Corp.
