George Malvaney is a successful businessman from Jackson, Mississippi, and the author of the bestselling memoir Cups Up: How I Organized a Klavern, Plotted a Coup, Survived Prison, Graduated College, Fought Polluters, and Started a Business.

“I met George in the first days of the Deepwater Horizon incident. Like most anyone who learns of his past, I was intrigued with the scandalous escapades of his youth and his transformation to a respected businessman, but just never knew the details, until now. Unlike any I’ve heard or read, Cups Up is a story of redemption about George’s missteps into dark places as a youngster with the fortitude to find his way out.” —

HALEY BARBOUR, GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI, 2004–2012

PHIL BRYANT, GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI, 2012 to 2020
