Biography
Geoff was one of the board members of the second iteration of Stark International. Geoff voiced his concern when Tony Stark elected to leave most major business matters in the hands of the board to take on a chief technologist role. He understood that Stark no longer wished the company to sign military contracts, but also understood that such contracts were the easiest and most effective means of increasing cash flow. He pointed out that SI had currently thirty-plus projects in research and development, about 80% of which would not see a return for at least three-to-five years.

While Tony was on a business flight, Geoff unveiled SI's most recent advancement in communications technology - the Stark Beam 01. The Stark Beam was a cellular telephone/handset that connects directly to the Stark Zipsat sattelite. It provided broadband access and could be hooked up to any computer via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Firewire or USB.
