Geoff obtained the job of dental laboratory manager at the then Government Employees Health Fund (now AHM), his role as a part of a management team he expanded the health fund dental clinic from four surgeries and employing ten people to two state of the art dental clinics with over 40 surgeries and employing hundreds of staff.
After Twelve years with the Health Fund it was time to start working for himself. In 1996 Geoff commenced teaching the dental technicians course at Randwick Tafe, at the same time Geoff and his wife Pauline setup D-Fence Mouthguards and started supplying Custom Laminated Mouthguards for sports players in the Shire, over the next ten years they have built D-Fence Mouthguards into the largest suppliers of mouthguards in the Shire .They have also created a new awareness of mouthguards among young players partly because of the great colours and graphics but mainly due to the fit and comfort of their mouthguards.
Since opening the clinic at Heathcote in 2005 Geoff has concentrated on building up the Denture Clinic side of the business.
Geoff also works alongside his daughter Elle.
