George Lundquist

FOUNDER of RCSS and your TOUR GUIDE!

I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1965 with a AA in Electrical Engineering and a BA in Industrial Psychology and started work at Texas Instruments in Dallas, moving to Texas to escape the COLD.

Three years later I had a chance to move to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas as a Plant Manager for Haggar Slacks for 13 years. It was time for a change and started my own business, Calidad Electronics, Inc. close to the Mexican border.The business made a profit every year since inception and earned placement in the INC. Magazine’s 500 Fastest growing companies in the US for 1990 &1991.

After selling Calidad to an IPO from New York in 1993 I did freelance consulting for companies in the Telecommunications, Meals Ready to Eat, Powder Coating, and Bass Boat business’.

By 2001, after several successive non-producing investments, at 61 years old I decided to explore how to live on our Social Security income.

After living in one of the many beautiful rural areas I decided to start a tour operation to show others who might not want or need to live in a tightly gated, guarded, community with it’s high prices, heavy traffic, and materialistic, hectic lifestyle how INCREDIBLY FUN AND HEALTHY LIFE CAN BE.

This was very successful and popular and became even better as I became a Developer and Homebuilder.

I had so much fun doing the first project; I have started a second, larger project. All of this experience in land purchasing, design, development, and home design and development has given me a lot of exposure to how to do and not to do it.

Now many of my past guests are part of the tour as they do their own projects. They are happy to share they’re how to do and not to do it’s as well.

I am living better than ever, right here, in Costa Rica!!!
