Athletic Career
While in grade school Geoff made contact with and was profoundly inspired by the discipline of an ascetic (athletic) existence of the (then non-existent) “sport” of rock climbing - as such he dedicated himself completely from the outset and as a result, became a teenage member of the “original generation” of world elite athlete rock climbers and in the process became Australia's first ever professional athlete rock climber.

With World Cup and Olympic finals competition performances and world level “roped”, “onsight” and “free solo” ascents Geoff established himself as a protagonist of the sport while still in his teen years. Before his move to the US and exemplifying his drive for athletic excellence he concurrently held a “Cat-1” Road Cycling license, while also making world level climbs across multiple continents: Australia, New Zealand the United States and Europe.

Geoff was also a pioneering athlete in that he dedicated himself to a dual task; that while continuing to develop his own athletic performance, he was also one of the first to successfully synthesize cutting edge performance science with training methods and programming, recovery techniques and the application of the mind in the coaching and performce of elite athletes and performers across diverse disciplines.

Through this multi-threaded exploration of performance, Geoff was one of the earliest anywhere to come to understand the essential nature and practical power of an integrated approach to sleep, performance, learning and living!

Post Athletic Professional Career

Benefiting greatly from advanced instruction, coaching and mentorship, across a wide variety of disciplines starting by age 4 in: classical music, chess, soccer, tennis, cricket and orienteering… all of which created the foundation “performance mind”, which later when Geoff was introduced to rock climbing fueled his inspiration and dedication.

Geoff’s drive to always ”explore beyond what is already known”, has caused him to be an innovator as a teacher, coach, product and program developer since his early years working in the technical outdoor industry, for manufacturers from the US, Europe and Asia including Nike, Five Ten Co., Oakley, Black Diamond, Cousin Cordes, Asolo, Cassin, Vaude, Mont Bell, Lowe Alpine Systems and Laken to name a few.

After his move to the U.S. Geoff founded the world’s first professional coaching service for the training of elite/professional rock climbers - which he later expanded to include programs for other elite level athletes and creative performers across diverse disciplines including: alpine climbing, road cycling, mountain biking, swimming, ballet and acting…

Transitions

Upon his retirement as an athlete, Geoff expanded his professional experience into the world of public, business and non-profit work with: government, education and corporate organizations, managing and consulting with dozens of local, state and federal agencies.

Throughout his professional career, while working across diverse industries, Geoff has maintained the thread of his core purpose - that of promoting (personal) evolution wherever there is the interest - applying it across the fields of his: non-profit work, performance coaching, sound production, curriculum development, software and product design.

Through all this Geoff has built a lifetime of experience working with the integration of human capabilities and performance across diverse groups of people of all ages from kids to septuagenarians.
