 George has been interested in the online world ever since he first dialed in to local BBSs in the early 90s and has been developing for the web and with open source tools for over 10 years. He became internet-famous for a brief period in 2003 when he put an iTunes song on eBay to draw attention to issues of property rights and DRM technologies.
George is currently working for MediaRica, a start-up focusing on tools to help musicians spread their music online, in Ann Arbor, MI.
George is the founder of CitizenSpeak . CitizenSpeak is a free email advocacy service that enables grassroots organizations and individual activists to launch MoveOn-like email campaigns and track participation. With support for campaigns in English and Spanish, CitizenSpeak campaigns are easy to set-up and only require a web-browser and basic web-surfing skills to use.

| I'm absolutely thrilled to have won the Antonio Pizzigati Prize! Working on CitizenSpeak has been very rewarding to me, and I strongly believe in their mission. The prize has made me more confident than ever of the power of open source for non-profits. My thanks go to the Pizzigati family, my girlfriend Jenny, Jo at CitizenSpeak and Eric at Development Seed.
