A professional engineer with a BSc from Queen's University, Geoff enjoyed a 30-year career as a senior consulting engineering executive, with a focus on relationship/client development, and management and execution of large power utility-based projects. He has a passion for growing and nurturing organizational cultures, which foster high quality and safety. Having been a part-time Collingwood area resident since his early teens and a full-time resident starting in 2003, his desire to work in the local community led him to a very enjoyable conclusion to his professional career working at Creemore Springs Brewery, where he was responsible for the expansion and redevelopment of the brewery. Geoff subsequently became Head of the Supply Chain for the Craft Beer Division of Molsons, which included oversight of Creemore Springs.
Geoff has significant professional and volunteer board experience, ranging from the Canadian Nuclear Association to Rays Place, a Creemore-based organization, which assists students from the local area in achieving their post-secondary education goals.
