As the creator of the Muscle Balance and Function Development® System, Geoff has provided seminars, workshops, and individual consultations for health care providers internationally.

He authored the internationally acclaimed Muscle Balance and Function Development® CDROM (1997) and related manuals, as well as several articles for journals.

He is credited with starting the postural and functional exercise revolution now in force in North America. This stemmed from a ground-breaking postural fitness article in Shape Magazine (November 1994) that featured him, including a specially designed MBF® functional exercise program for women.

In 2000, he appeared on the Body by Jake Healthy Lifestyles television show as the featured functional fitness and biomechanics expert. Over the years, he has presented at international conferences for organizations, such as 3rd Interdiscplinary World Congress, NSCA, and IDEA. He also served as a guest staff member of The Nicklaus/Flick Golf School and the Assistant Director of T.H.E. Clinic in Del Mar, California, home of The Egoscue Method. He holds a Master's Degree in Exercise Science and a Health/Fitness Instructor Certification by the American College of Sports Medicine.

Since 1993, as the creator and promoter of the Muscle Balance and Function Development® (MBF®) education system, he has been a primary presenter at several international conferences in North America and Europe (1994-2002), from which a following developed across several continents, and still continues today.

His award-winning debut spy thriller, Deadly Exchange (2009 Los Angeles Book Festival), was runner-up to Grand Prize in Fiction. In promoting the work, he has presented to Foothill College (California) as part of their Author Lecture Series, was an author panelist at the Pulpwood Queens Bookclub Girlfriend Weekend in Jefferson, Texas, and spoke at the Maryland Writers Association Baltimore Chapter meeting, among many other events.

Recently, he was a Level Two judge for the MWA Novel contest: Great Beginnings, overseen by best-selling author Sandra Dallas.

Currently, he writes features for print publications in the United States, Canada, and Australia, such as Iron Horse Magazine, Law Enforcement Technology, Credit Union Business, and Mini Rider. For the novel, he drew from his training as a federal agent and recruitment by the CIA, as well as experience as an exercise physiologist and international lecturer.

His poetry and fiction, Unicorn Pain II, Broken Horns, have been featured in several anthologies, Teen Angst (St. Martin’s Press, April 2005), A Far Off Place (1995). Three years prior, an essay entitled, Ultimately, appeared in Expectations.
