Geoffrey graduated from Yale University in 1990 with a B.A. in American Studies concentrating in film. His thesis at Yale was a 75- minute film entitled Our Birthstone is a Diamond: Baseball and America.

He moved to Telluride, Co., the following year and began a career in journalism before creating his own music production company, Big Daddy Music. Big Daddy produced concerts with such talent as Taj Mahal, J.J. Cale, Warren Zevon, and The Radiators.

In 1996, Geoffrey wrote, produced and starred in the film Scrapple. The movie was released in 1998 and was hailed as "The Ski Bum's version of Easy Rider" by Men's Journal Magazine.

In 2001, Geoffrey produced Widespread Panic: Live at Oak Mountain, a live concert DVD on the Athens, Ga. rock n' roll band Widespread Panic. The DVD was certified Gold by the RIAA.

In 2003, he produced the documenatry The Earth Will Swallow You, also about Widespread Panic. That movie was voted Best Documentary by Relix Magazine in 2003.

In 2004, Hanson made his directorial debut with Earth Vs. The Radiators: The First 25, a live concert DVD featuring New Orleans legends The Radiators. Geoffrey also produced the double live CD of the same title.

Geoffrey has two other film scripts in development. One Fat Summer, adapted from the novel by Robert Lipsyte, is being produced by Cataland Films in New York City. And The Universal Baseball Association, based on the novel by Robert Coover, is a project that Geoffrey hopes to produce in the coming years.

Curse to Verse: The Boston Red Sox Miracle Season from A to Z is Geoffrey's first book and is a culmination of a life-long love affair with the Boston Red Sox.
