About (request update)

My name is Geoffrey Morris I'm an Atlanta Native eldest son of George and Sharon Morris.
I went to Fort Valley State University and Studied Business. During my time at the university I coordinated the largest single fundraiser in university history (A car and motorcycle show). The president of my university was a huge car collector and took a liking to me. He assisted me in getting my first job out of school working as a Roadie for Ford Motor Company on the College Football Game Day (ESPN) television network.
For two years I worked full-time in my own company (Geoff Morris Productions LLC.) and traveled the country as a contractor for Ford, State-farm and other fortune companies.

I was the youngest VP in the history of our Corporate Toastmasters organization (14 years). I worked to assist associates in advance presentation and public speaking. I've had the opportunity to speak on behalf of associates of The Home Depot in Executive board forums and have spoken in many speaking competition with Fortune 500 representatives.
Most recently, I've traveled abroad to study in China for my MBA program where I've taken my business experience to the next level.
