Born a sickly child at St. Anthony's Hospital in [[Denver, Colorado]], Geoff was lucky to make it. He did and persists in making it to this day. Calling [[Golden, Colorado]] his home wasn't hard as he lived there all his pre-collegiate life. Geoff grew up around racetracks with a happy family who decided the colors of his cars long before he'd exited the birthing canal, these colors were Chartreuse and Purple. As racing left him with plenty of time he entertained himself with two hobbies, reading and an interest in mechanics. The latter dropped off when he realized how much it had to do with [[math]]. He was selected into gifted and talented programs which resulted in going to school out of his district away from his neighborhood [[friend]]s who rebuked him appropriately. As a result he enrolled in the [[International Baccalaureate]] program where the hope of a free and renowned education was promised him but never delivered. Geoff was accepted to [[Knox]] in 2004 after being denied to all the other schools he applied to. He couldn't be happier about that.
