The son of two veterinarians, from an early age, Geoffrey was interested in biology, but rather than following in his parents' footsteps, he decided to carve out his own niche, by moving into the field of human medicine.
Following graduation, he did his residency at St Luke's Hospital in Duluth, where he developed an interest in trauma medicine.
His high-stress life and the long hours have not left much time for friends or a family, but he has an African Grey Parrot that he is fairly devoted to, and likes to blow off steam at the end of a long week with some target shooting on a local rifle range.
After several years of hard work, Geoffrey has finally decided to take some time off (leaving his parrot in the care of a neighbor, Miss Kotow), arranging to take a month-long Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness tour, hoping that, away from the frenetic pace of the city, he will have a chance to relax, and recharge (the fact that he managed to wrangle a discount by signing on as the trip's 'resident doctor' helped his peace of mind, as well).
What could possibly go wrong?
