GEORGE G. CHMIEL

George’s professional journey is unique as his experiences range from over a decade on Wall St. to being a full-fledged entrepreneur and an accomplished distance runner. Raised in Annapolis, MD and having graduated from Boston College, George is currently a founding partner and the director of business development for Capstone Companies, the largest privately owned multi-family brokerage in America. Here he heads up the company's national expansion and new product development.

​

Prior to Capstone, George spent the first 11-years of his career with Merrill Lynch in capital markets & derivative sales. There he grew Merrill’s northeast Structured Investments group to over $1.1B in annual gross sales. In 2015, George left the corporate world and moved to San Diego where he’s built a diversified portfolio of small business interests in the hospitality, fitness, entertainment, and consumer products space.

​

Outside the office, George’s biggest passion is endurance racing and pushing his body’s physical, mental and emotional limits. To date, George has completed over 50 sanctioned marathons and 17 100+ miles races, including one on all seven continents. In 2017, he completed a solo 3,006-mile transcontinental run across America in 93 running days. And this past August, against major odds, he helped lead a climbing expedition with 14 vets and 4 amputees to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

​

George always says life is about two things - relationships &
experiences - doing memorable & impactful things with the people
you love. This expedition will epitomize that philosophy.
