George Kuntz

In 1986, George pursued his passion for towing by working with Chuck’s Towing until 1995 when he decided to venture on his own creating Ace 24 Hr Towing. Working hard to build his new business, he worked a second job by day and ran calls at night until he hired his first employee in 1996. George was doing so well that he expanded his fleet to include heavy trucks and eventually, in 2001, bought Chuck’s 24 Hour Towing from its previous owner.

In 2004, George attended his first heavy duty trainer class and later met someone very special who would be a great influence and mentor, Bill Tomlinson.
In the coming years, George would prove to be a huge pillar in the community both local and state-wide. George was able to pull towers from all corners of the state to help build and support a Toys for Christmas initiative which provided toys for hospital bound children unable to spend Christmas at home with their families. To further his commitment to the community, George provided countless hours supporting the Department of Transportation clearing ice and snow blocked roadways, as well as assisting North Dakota State Highway Patrol providing immediate first response to stranded motorists.

In 2013, George and his wife, Jessica, revived the North Dakota Towing Association and was voted in as the Vice President. Later, to become the President of the association, George was an instrumental driving force behind getting laws and bills passed regarding emergency lights for towers, the abandoned vehicle law, and a huge proponent for the Move Over law.

George has received much recognition for his hard work and dedication to the community to include The Golden Citizen Award, Colonel’s Award, and Honorary Fireman. The TRAA awarded George with the National Citizenship Award for his tireless efforts working with North Dakota lobbyists passing the Abandoned Vehicle Law and was also asked to be the Presidential Appointee for TRAA.

In 2018, George was awarded The Cross of the Order from American Towman Magazine as well as the Top Industry Award from the Towing & Recovery Association of Ohio.

George’s vision, motivation, and determination has been the driving force behind his commitment to providing the best equipped, highly trained and most reliable service to its customers and the public at large.
