[edit]

Per the policy on removing unsourced claims (especially from biographies of living people), some material was taken out:

Geoff grew up in Palo Alto and started programming computers at the age of 9. He was hired to “hack” the Tymshare Network at the age of 15. While attending Gunn High School, he interned at NASA Ames Research Center developing the software for the wind tunnel testing of the 747 space shuttle transport system.

and

During a sabbatical from Sun, he helped launch a new Internet company, USA.NET, and created their NetAddress permanent e-mail address and email-outsourcing product. Additionally, Geoff oversaw operations of a private network, which supplied Internet access to over 6,000 customers in four states

From archive.org, at least the USA.Net web site claims that it was founded in 1991, which does not jibe with this. Much of the original seems to have come from the self-sourced personal web site: http://www.proto6.com/geoff-2005.html but we generally require independent sources or at least more neutrally-worded ones. An indirect conflict of interest, is that long ago I worked in a very similar area, an know other people who worked on related topics, but never met this person.
