Geoff's in the spotlight
You have to be on your toes when Geoff’s around. He is the Co-Creative Director of the Wellington Improv Troupe (WIT), and you never know what line he will throw at you. Geoff’s quick wit, way with words, and degree in economics makes him the perfect writer/researcher for Gareth’s books. Geoff co-wrote Health Cheque which is quite fitting as Geoff has his health in check- he is fit, sporty, and nothing gets him more excited than a bowl of mung beans.
