Geoff was born in Brampton to Karl and Carol and spent his formative years growing up there. After graduating high school, he attended Humber College taking a three-year program in journalism. He then joined SportsNet The Fan as an intern. He moved to 1130 News in Vancouver from 2006 to 2010 and then moved back to Toronto and joined 680 News.

In the middle of 2024, Geoff was hospitalized where he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He also suffered severe depression and anxiety which worsened with the loss of his job. His health deteriorated with the ultimate end in 2025. He touched many people with his lighthearted approach to reporting. Geoff was a sports fan. He played soccer in his younger years and loved the Leafs, Blue Jays and Raptors but his greatest love was wrestling, which he knew everything about. With his many interviews with celebrities, he always asked them who their favourite wrestler was.
