Jeremy George - Owner/ Operator

NAME: Jeremy George

POSITION: Owner-Operator

YEARS IN FIELD: 27

•  How did you get started with SERVPRO?

I responded to my first water damage when I was 13. My parents, Laurie and Andy, joined the SERVPRO franchise community in 1992, and for the first few years, ran the operation from our home and our family were the primary employees. After graduating from the University of Central Florida, I spent a few years in Dallas before coming home to work full-time in the business and help my parents transition toward retirement.

• What do you feel has been your greatest reward in this line of work?

I love what we do because we help people, plain and simple. But as I’ve grown into my role as owner, the greatest reward for me has been seeing our team come together and grow and develop as professionals, and people. We work hard to promote from within, and watching a team member hone in their interests, skills and goals to begin a meaningful career path that benefits them professionally as well as personally, is extremely rewarding. Working with great people, and watching how SERVPRO can help them reach their own goals, is the best part of my job.

• Does your SERVPRO franchise give back to your community? How?

We do, and it’s easy because our community gives so much to us. This month we sponsored the Festival of Trees, a Christmas tree auction benefitting the Good Samaritan Clinic – one of West Pasco’s most poignant nonprofit operations, providing healthcare on a sliding pay scale to underserved populations. We are also , once again, a proud sponsor of the Celebration of Lights, a seasonal effort launched by my dear friend the late Dave Parris to benefit various charities in West Pasco. If you drive by this weekend you can see the SERVPRO of West Pasco animated light, where an elf is cheerily operating an extractor to remove water from a melting snowman. We also give of our time, with me personally serving on the board of the Greater Pasco Chamber of Commerce, and also as an active member of the New Port Richey Rotary Club.
