About George and Suzie- George and Suzie reside in Nevada City with their 2 kids, Madeline and Julia. George mountain bikes with his dogs, Bones and Smitty, and dabbles in electric vehicles and alternative energy. He says, "I'm living the life I've always dreamed of...a house specially built for my family on acreage away from the pressures and crime of city life, self employed and free to live life as I choose."

The South Pine Story (As George would tell it)- It was August of 1995 and my wife and I backed out of our driveway, turned our heads and noticed someone had driven away with our boat. It was at that moment we made the decision to leave the city life behind and raise our family in a safe and habitable environment. A year later, we bought our Nevada City location. Over the last 10 years, we've bought several restaurants, some we've kept, some we've sold, but one concept is here to stay, South Pine Café. Our idea was to create a restaurant that would appeal to any type of clientele, from the biscuit and gravy connoisseur to the vegan, and anyone in between; the result is an eclectic array of specialty items that attract a very diverse mix of diners. With 10 years of testing, adjusting, changing, tweaking and perfecting, we've built three thriving South Pine Café locations and plan to start growing outside of Nevada County.
