When George Washington came to work at Beyond Vision in 1994, he fell in love with our mission, his work, and his co-workers. Beyond Vision also gave him the independence, confidence and dignity he hadn’t found elsewhere.

George considers the Beyond Vision team part of his family and even invited the entire company to his wedding.

George is a great advocate for employment for people with vision loss. He loves to ask prospective customers who stop by on tours, “Are you going to bring us more work?” During employee meetings, he’s a great cheerleader and active member of any conversation. When we’re discussing new accounts with our employees, George often says things like, “I’m so excited!” and “I hope that’s something I can work on!”

When he’s not working, George enjoys spending time with his wife and participating in Blind Outdoor Leisure Development (BOLD) activities.

Every day, George walks through our front door with a smile on his face, ready to work. It is said the only real disability is a bad attitude. George Washington is a model to us all that if you have a great attitude, you can accomplish most anything.
