He started selling lemonade in front of his parents Fond du Lac house just after he could walk.   George Hausauer has been a lifelong salesman.   From humble beginnings selling suits, he started in the automotive industry at small independent dealerships and built them up to multi-million dollar operations.   At least three times in his automotive career, George took over distressed dealerships and built them to the point that they out grew their current locations and new multimillion dollar buildings were constructed.  George built his businesses using the power of radio, so it was only natural in the late 80’s that he earned the nickname “Radio George.”  Looking to help other entrepreneurial businesses grow, Radio George joined Cumulus to put his business sense, his love for sales, and his successful selling techniques to work for companies all throughout the Fox Valley.
