I'm Geoff. I'm a software developer by trade. Taterpeel is a nickname that was given to me by the first base player on my T-ball team when I was in 2nd grade. Now that I'm older, I've recovered from the trauma of that sport. (Have you ever seen a kid strike out in T-Ball???) Fortunately, I became a little more coordinated with age.
