Founder & CEO

George Hoover, Jr., co-founded Torrey Growth and Income Advisors in 2006 with a vision to provide independent, relationship-driven financial advice rooted in trust and long-term thinking. With over two decades of industry experience — including time at AG Edwards and Smith Barney working alongside his late father — George brings deep insight and calm guidance to the families he serves.

Prior to entering finance, George was a small business owner and world-class professional triathlete, competing internationally and ranking top ten at the Ironman. That same discipline and endurance now define his approach to wealth management: focused, strategic, and built for the long haul.

Outside the office, you’ll find George chasing new challenges in the mountains or the ocean — he’s an avid rock climber, skier, and lifelong surfer. His passion for performance and perseverance translates directly to the client relationships he’s nurtured over decades.
