Geoff Hill is probably best described as a passionate engineer, he can get very frustrated when there is a better way to do something and no one else can see it.
Born a proto engineer, one of his earliest memories was of a Christmas Meccano Set, with his father just coming inside from his workshop.
Early on he discovered Sound, Music, and Electronics, building running a School Disco in the 1970s. After qualifying in Electronics (City and Guilds FTC in Telecommunications if you must know).
