George West’s radio career began in South Florida as an intern on The Paul and Ron morning show in 2004.
He joined 850 WFTL, working weekend overnights as a board-operator right before the very active hurricane season of 2005. George would log 36-hour shifts behind the mixing board during the storms, including Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma.
George was no stranger to working long hours under brutal conditions, thanks to his training as a U.S. Navy firefighter during the first Gulf War, as well as the other unpleasantness of the late 90s, including Somalia, Bosnia, and Haiti. He was aboard the USS Shreveport LPD-12.
George was born in Charleston, SC, and did not stop moving until he got to South Florida in 2000. Here, he made his living teaching guitar and playing in too many local bars to be considered respectable by anyone with any kind of class.
George is the host of Gold Coast weekly, a one-hour show heard on all 4 James Crystal Radio stations.
