Born and raised in San Francisco, Geo is now proudly based in Woodside, Queens. His journey to the film world has been anything but conventional. 

After a semester in college and following the events of 9/11, he decided to join the U.S. Army where he served as a combat medic from 2002 to 2006. When he returned to civilian life, he went back to school to pursue a degree in bio-engineering. This decision was driven partly by his natural strengths in math and science, partly by a desire to make his parents proud, and maybe just a little by Jurassic Park. But his heart wasn’t in it, and eventually, he stepped away from academia and into the working world.

Geo found his stride in the hospitality industry in San Francisco, where he spent over a decade bartending and managing bars, sharpening the kind of people skills and emotional intuition that now fuel his work in film. But the dream of storytelling never left him. His love of movies began early, sparked by The Empire Strikes Back, and he even took a few film classes before life pulled him in other directions. It wasn’t until the pandemic shuttered the bar he was managing that he made a bold move and left San Francisco to relocate to New York City to pursue a long-held dream of studying film and working in the film industry.

Geo completed his Associate degree in Film and Television at LaGuardia Community College June 2025 and plans to transfer to a four-year university to continue his studies. With plans of becoming a writer/director he has been leaning into his editing skills and is focused on developing his creative voice while deepening his involvement in the NYC film community.

Geo thrives on the human element of film, how stories bring people together and challenge us to see the world through different eyes. His favorite genre is space operas, drawn to their epic scale, emotional depth, and the way they transport audiences to entirely new worlds. Geo became involved with Queens World in early 2025 and enjoyed his new role, he felt like it was a return to a calling that’s just been waiting for the right moment.
