Geoff grew up in Sydney Australia, attending Sydney Boys HIgh School and then Sydney University, completing an Electrical Engineering degree. During his final year of study he took a cadetship with Qantas Airways and in the following 34 years he initially was employed as a Technical Services Engineer, then spent time at Boeing in Seattle USA as Qantas Technical Representative working on the purchase of new aircraft, on return managed the aircraft avionics servicing and heavy maintenance groups, thereafter the flight simulator department and finally was made General Manager Component Maintenance where he had responsibility for the maintenance of components removed from Qantas aircraft, maintenance of all ground support equipment (trucks, tractor tugs, cargo loaders etc) as well as the flight simulators. Leaving Qantas in 2001 after disagreements with upper management regarding maintenance standards, he finally took up a new career he had always dreamt of - driving freight trains.
