Geoff ( Kill ) is a rock solid and very heavy hitter with good chops.  His playing philosophy is to play in control and lay down consistent groove above all else.  Playing style has been compared at various times to Phil Rudd (AC/DC), Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Robert Sweet (Stryper), and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater).

Personal:

Geoff is a full time manager in the transportation industry in addition to being a musician. In Dec/06 he got hitched to his long-time sweet heart "Nikki" - now Mrs. Kill. Number one influence: God.  Other influences are: 70’s disco groovy stuff, 80’s rock, John Bonham, Robert Sweet, Tommy Lee, Mike Portnoy, Eric Singer, and Desmond Child (80’s and 90’s songwriter to the stars).

Favorite bands:  “I can’t really name all the 70’s stuff I heard when I was real young, just remember the grooves were awesome!  Stryper was a huge favorite but the most recent record didn’t excite me.  I really like Jeremy Camp and Pillar a lot.  Of course, Metallica (but not live Metallica), and here is an obscure one….Puya.” 

Hobbies:  “Hunting and target shooting.  Motorcycles, Jet Skiis, anything with a motor!  Camping.  Surfing the net, gaming, and playing with my GSD “Cruzer”.
