At the age of ten, Geoff found out he had a genius level IQ by completing a quiz in Reader’s Digest and he’s been living under this delusion ever since.
Geoff’s first career was as an architect having studied in the Australia and the US.
He quit architecture when he realized that computers were taking over. He then created a web design business just to make sure that computers really had taken over.
Today he is a compulsive learner, has read over 200 books in the past 5 years and is constantly looking for what’s next.
Geoff is a big picture thinker and a catalyst for sparking fresh ideas into life. His super power is designing from first principles and he’s at his best when he’s thinking out loud.
Geoff’s major project for 2011 is the Manifesto Project where his aim is to help 1000 people create their own manifesto.
