Bio
Geoff first got involved with BAA at the first meeting right after Earth Day 1990, and was BAA’s first chair when the organization formed its first board in 1991. He was very involved with the Alternative Transportation Task Force and Beat the Back-Up with David Smernoff and Sue Lambie, but found his niche as treasurer as the organization grew. He played that role up until the time that BAA merged with the PCCF and became Acterra in 2000.
He worked with David Smernoff, Holly Kaslewicz, and Jim Steinmetz as the Arastradero project was submitting its first proposal to the City of Palo Alto and was involved in the 1993 and 1994 Earth Day events.
Geoff married Sue Lambie and they had two sons, Peter and Eric.
Post BAA
Geoff has been a software engineer for a number of companies during the rise of Big Tech, such as Akami, Oracle, and Siebel. He still serves on the board of Acterra today.
