George Major
George Major (George Sr.) along with his brother, Ken, in 1963 went to work for Concrete Coring Company in Las Angeles, California.

Six years later he and his brother, Ken Major, opened their own concrete cutting business in Houston, Texas (Holes Incorporated) in 1970. By 1977, George Sr. had ventured to San Antonio, establishing Holes of San Antonio, Inc., becoming the first to start a cutting business in the city. With one pickup truck and a few pieces of equipment, George blazed a trail and developed San Antonio and South Texas markets. Now retired George Sr. spends his time relaxing and doing a lot of reading. In 2020 George Sr was given the Pioneer Award from the American Subcontractors Association for his contribution to the San Antonio construction industry.
