Peterson, Jr. was born at the Groton, Connecticut Submarine Base hospital on December 24, 1965. He's always loved God, children, animals and nature, and has always believed that the simpler things in life are more important than the extravagant. These include family and friends, and learning and loving.
George's first jobs, at age eleven, were as a bus boy at a local restaurant and picking tobacco during the summer. Once getting a driver's license, he worked at a lumber yard building interior and exterior doors. He then spent eight years in the United States Navy learning much about machinery, but more importantly, much about people and the world. He then went into printing for many years.
Due to his great love of animals, especially exotics, George went to work as a self-taught exotic animal expert/department manager of two large pet stores where he cared for fish, reptiles and amphibians, along with other animals. He followed this as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital during which time he went to college and started E.A.R. (Exotic Animal Refuge), which is a foster home for unwanted pets and abandoned wildlife. George would find homes for the pets, which have included rabbits, iguanas, snakes, frogs, turtles, etc. As for wildlife, he would raise them up until they are weaned, and then release them back into the wild. These have included rabbits, squirrels, woodchucks, opossums, birds, etc.
Not making enough money with the arrival of his son, Brandon, George went back into printing for a few years. This is when he decided to follow his dream of becoming a children's author, and with the inspiration of his son and all that he's learned about animals, nature and the world, he wrote his first book in the Wonderful Stories from Skog Forest series.ver menos
