Geoff was born in London but has dual British / New Zealand Citizenship and French Residency.
He's worked in and around the IT industry for about five
decades, during which time he has assumed numerous roles,
from Mainframe Computer Operations and Programming,
Digital Graphic Arts, 2-D and 3-D Animation and
Movie-Production, through Tech Writing, Training Development
& Delivery, Presentation, PR / Marketing, Management, etc...
Before the Internet was born, he owned and ran Lexico-Graphix, a NZ-based DTP company which evolved into Vidi-Print Ltd., a Digital Non-Linear-Video-Editing business that created TV Advertisements, Music Videos, 2-D & 3-D Animations, Documentaries, Training Videos, etc. throughout Australasia, China and Indonesia.
(GOSH, that was SO MUCH fun!!!)
In more recent years Geoff was been heavily involved with IT Marketing as applied to "Techie" software products such as those that were distributed by Binary Research International Inc.
(a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA-based company) and Binary Resource (UK) Ltd. (Canterbury, UK),
both of which he co-owned with Annette Dow.
Geoff's major passions include Flying and Photography, although
he dabbles in other "arty" areas these days, primarily 3D
modeling and rendering, with a smattering of AI thrown in...
... of which he doesn't really approve!
(It's just not proper!)
He has been actively involved with Flying for nigh-on 50 years
and Photography for even longer!
(Think Box-Brownie cameras and dark-rooms!)
Geoff displays his 3D rendering offerings on various
web sites, including Flickr and DeviantArt.
