Background

Geoff grew up in the Mobile, Alabama area where he attended a primary and secondary school, and was a semi pro bowler in his teenage years, but he had lived in Florida and the outlying areas of New Orleans when he was younger. He enlisted into the United States Army before graduating high school and began United States Army Basic Training at Fort Jackson (South Carolina) shortly afterwards. In Ramsey's early years he served in the military as a photojournalist in Kuwait and was based out of Fort Hood during that time. After leaving, he secured a job at the tech support company TeleNetwork Partners, at which he befriended Burnie Burns who was then a manager and later president of the company. Prior to working for Rooster Teeth Productions and TeleNetwork, Ramsey worked as a production assistant for View Askew Productions, before that a roadie for the band Catch 22. He also created a web site with his friend, Gustavo Sorola, called Drunk Gamers, which later evolved into Rooster Teeth Productions. Ramsey currently resides in Austin, Texas with his wife Griffon Ramsey, daughter Millicent Ramsey (born 2005), and his friend/Co-worker Gavin Free.

While changing his surname to his stepfather's, "Ramsey", he was informed by the court that it would not cost any more to change any other of his names. As a joke, he changed his middle name to "Lazer".

Famous quotes containing the word background:

    I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    ... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
