- Geoff began as a stuntman working in the Universal Studios Hollywood Tour, where he worked in the "Wild West Stunt Show", "The Adventures of Conan", and "The Miami Vice Action Spectacular." Using that as a springboard, Geoff performed almost all of his own stunts as an actor, from going through glass windows, to highfalls, to car chases, to doing all of his own extensive fighting with stars such as Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, and Mark Dacascos.
As a playwright, Geoff has had five original plays produced in Los Angeles. He directed four of them, and starred in all five.
After being severely injured on a TV movie in 2012, which turned into a workers comp lawsuit, Geoff "semi-retired" from acting, and opened his own fitness/martial arts studio in the suburbs of Houston, Texas, while loosely keeping his foot in the door in Hollywood. In November 2016, he returned to Los Angeles t pick up again, after a much needed break.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous

- Inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame Hall of Heroes on May 8, 2010.
- Geoff had not spoken much of his previous work in personal protection or security detail for fear of it not being well received during his acting career, but he was recruited to the private sector to be a recurring hand to hand combat instructor with the United States Marine Corps Martial Arts Program instructors. After his injury and move to Texas, he opened his own fitness and martial arts studio, Dojo Fit. He returned to Los Angeles in November 2016, to be more readily available for acting and writing jobs, and to open up another studio of his own in the near future.

- In my 20s, I learned that all the bad things I was doing, I could do in film and TV, and not hurt anybody, or get into trouble. So now I'm a good person, and just do bad fake stuff.
