Geoffrey Stephen Nicolle was born and raised in Southern California. Growing up along the shores of the Pacific, watching the sun set over the Channel Islands at the end of each day, Geoff developed a deep love of and a profound respect for the ocean. He spent much of his free time as a child surfing and sailing with his father and younger brother, both of whom taught him to enjoy and appreciate this life and all its wonders everyday. From his mother, he inherited a strong sense of compassion and empathy for others. His grandparents taught him the value of hard work and sacrifice and instilled in him an understanding that the United States of America is truly a land of immense freedom and opportunity and that he should never take it, or anything else, for granted.
He loves spending time with his family, sailing, surfing, and writing and recording music with his friends.
Geoff studied American and European history at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and counseling psychology at California Lutheran University, Graduate School of Psychology. He is a recently retired Officer with the California Highway Patrol and is currently studying Health Science.
Geoff and his wife Julie, an adjunct professor of art at Ventura College, and their two children, Ethan and Ella divide their time between their homes in Ventura and Lake Arrowhead, California.
