Founder & Principal

Built from the ground up.

Most owners walk into a construction project at a significant disadvantage. George built Seaworthy Properties to change that — drawing on years of hands-on site experience, graduate-level real estate expertise, and a deep belief that every owner deserves a trusted expert in their corner.

Our Mission

Leveling the playing field between owners and the construction industry.

Most property owners only build once. General contractors and developers build every day. That knowledge gap costs owners time, money, and peace of mind. Seaworthy exists to close it — providing the kind of professional oversight, industry relationships, and technical knowledge that were previously only available to large developers. Whether you're building a custom home, an ADU, or a commercial building, you deserve someone fluent in the process working exclusively for you.

George's Expertise

Entitlements & Permitting

Deep familiarity navigating the City of San Diego Development Services Department, securing building permits, plan approvals, and managing ongoing compliance through construction changes.

Led high-level mechanical, electrical, and plumbing coordination on complex podium-deck multifamily projects — eliminating trade conflicts before rough-in begins.

MSRE from the University of San Diego, with expertise in pro forma modeling, financial analysis, capital markets, and real estate development economics.

Firsthand framing experience on custom homes, ADUs, and remodels — giving George an on-the-ground understanding of residential construction that most consultants lack.
