Coach Geoff has been a part of the PTYW organization for five seasons. Before joining PTYW, he served as a Junior High Assistant Coach at Burrell. He and his wife have three children—two who are currently in the PTYW program and one who recently graduated from it.

If you ask Coach Geoff why he’s so passionate about the sport, he’ll tell you, “Every kid should wrestle! Wrestling is the one sport that prepares you for every other sport.” In addition to wrestling, he also coaches PT Youth Football.

Coach Geoff was a three-year starter and two-time All-Conference selection in football at Bethany College (WV), where he credits wrestling for much of his success. “I was definitely a better wrestler than I was a football player,” he says, “but wrestling made me a pretty darn good football player.”
