George R. Hildebrand

Back in Northern Kentucky, the Boilermaker trade remained active throughout the construction of coal fired power plants for Cincinnati Gas & Electric. This construction lasted about six years, but was followed by manpower cut backs that required yet another career change. In the fall of 1986, George Hildebrand enrolled in the University of Cincinnati College of Applied Science - Mechanical Engineering Technology program. This would be his third and final major career change.

George Hildebrand earned his BSMEt degree in 1992 and spent the majority of his engineering career in the Consumer Product Industry; with a short diversion into Medical Device Design and Engineering Software Training & Courseware Development. As a Senior Product Development Engineer, engaged in the design and development of small plastic parts and assemblies related to trigger sprayers and pumps, you will find over ten US Patents under his name.

George Hildebrand's engineering career took him from Cincinnati, Ohio to St. Louis, Missouri, and Finally Kansas City, Missouri. In February of 2014, George was corporate "downsized" for what would be his last time. In the fall of that year at the age of 60, he returned to Cincinnati, Ohio and retired.

During the Spring of 2000, while working in St, Louis, Missouri, George began what would become his life long love of Vintage Lindy Hop Swing Dancing. This is a passion he continues to pursue through teaching and social dancing at local events and Jazz/Blues venues around the Greater Cincinnati region.

In the fall of 2019, George became interested in working as a Film Background Extra. Responding to leads on local social media pages, George was able to gather "on set" experience on various short films and commercials (one legit and one comical parody). In a relative short time, George has landed a couple of small speaking roles hopes to continue his work in the film industry.
