About Tabb George …

 

Tabb has seen a lot of change in the landscape over the years in Salt Lake, attended East High School before the now famous high school movie set was built;  graduated from the U of U in Communications. Worked for KCPX, KLZX and KSL T.V. in media sales in the Salt Lake market and operated a number of regional in-flight magazine publications for over ten years. In addition, Tabb  became involved in on-line investment education before becoming the Recruitment Specialist for Volunteers and Families wanting to get involved in helping at-risk kids reach their potential through one-on-one mentoring. Tabb has wanted to be involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters for a long time because he believes in helping to change our community for the better, one kid at a time. When he isn’t involved in helping kids in the community, Tabb spends a lot of time with his family enjoying the amazing canyons, mountains, lakes and rivers in our own backyard.
