Geoffery Simmons has been performing as an actor from the age of 9 in grade school and high school plays. Born in Seattle and raised in Washington State, he learned to sing classically in Northwest Boychoir and gospel music with his Baptist Church choir in Seattle. He left Seattle at 18 to tour the world. He was selected for the Air Force choir but chose to join the Navy after high school graduation instead. During his Navy off-time he performed in local talent contests and formed several bands and played professionally at festivals and events around the world. In order to support his growing passion for acting and performing, he took on various jobs including teaching English at Berlitz, modeling, doing commercials and television shows, and performing in the rock band Multiculture as lead singer/keyboardist and rhythm guitar player in some of Tokyo's club hot-spots. Geoffery sang back-up for Mariah Carey at the Tokyo Dome for 3 sold-out concerts during her 1996 Butterfly tour.

   Geoffery Simmons was adopted as a baby by great parents Charles and G. Mary Simmons, who loved him and nurtured his soul (Props to God), and while frequently hearing as an adult that he looked like former NFL Wide receiver, College Hall of Fame and Emmy award-winning Sportscaster, Ahmad Rashad, especially during his east coast visits, he never took the idea seriously. He was genuinely surprised to learn he was in fact his biological son. Geoffery Simmons happily reunited with Ahmad Rashad in 2003 and has since learned that, like his father, he shares a drive to achieve high standards while pursuing his acting career. Stage credits include: Andre in "Ain't Misbehavin'," Tom in "Big! the Musical," Skip Snip in "Little Shop of Horrors," Principle singer in "Let the Good Times Roll," Tony Marco in "Jules Dot Com," Groll in "The Spinning," HT (Hostage Taker) in "Soul of a Whore," Wade in "Twelfth Night of Stardust," Robert Earl Hayes in "Exonerated," Jake in "Sideshow," Jim in "Big River."
