Chairman of the National Eagles and Angels Association and CEO of Jarkesy & Company.

A successful money manager and professional investor, respected financial and corporate advisor and a dynamic public speaker, George has founded, invested in and helped to build companies engaged in a broad range of industry sectors, including financial consulting, media, real estate investing, real estate anagement, employee leasing, light steel manufacturing, livestock management, high technology, natural resources, healthcare and biotechnology.

Among other priorities, George is currently focused on expanding the National Eagles and Angels Association (NEAA), a nationwide alliance of individual investors and business angels currently comprising 20 active NEAA chapters in key metropolitan markets across the country. The NEAA membership shares certain common core values. Chief among these values are a belief in liberty and happiness for all who dwell in the Free Enterprise system. They attest that making money honestly, paying one’s rightful taxes, working hard and playing by the rules distinguishes us as a moral force for the good. This good nurtures job creation and economic growth of our cities, reinforces our common national purpose, promotes ethical business practices, and offers the opportunity to reward like-thinkers with abiding wealth and prosperity.

George is also privileged to host the program, “New Captains of Industry,” a show dedicated to frank and insightful discussion on the world of macroeconomics, key industry trends, politics and the stock market.  In addition, he is a frequent market commentator on FOX Business News programming and has been featured on CEO Central, iStockAnalyst and HardAssetsInvestor.com.  He has also been quoted in the national press, including USA Today among other leading publications.

George started his career in the financial services industry with Josephthal Lyon and Ross, a New York Stock Exchange member.  Over the past two decades, he has consulted numerous venture capital groups as well as investment banking departments at small to medium sized broker dealers on investment strategies, risk management and implementation.  Individually and through one of his companies, he was a successful strategic investor in two public biotechnology companies (ANX and OPXA). George was a co-founder of PharmaFrontiers Corporation (now Opexa Therapeutics: OPXA), and has had investments in VoIP, Internet Security and Gaming. He also served as the Chief Operating Officer and President of SH Celera Capital Corporation, an internally managed fund.   In the 1990’s, George expanded his investments to China as well as other international markets – well before mainstream investing in emerging markets became in vogue. George was an early seed investor for Oilsands Quest (NYSE: BQI), a development stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties in Canada; and a significant investor-turned-board member of Radiant Oil and Gas, Inc (ROGI)
