Geoff Arbuckle

My by line of life reads - Husband, Dad, Creative Director, Former Zamboni Driver, Die Hard Leafs Fan, Beer-league Lifer, Professional Beer Taste-Tester (just because I don’t get paid to do it doesn’t mean it’s not true!), Licensed Drone Pilot. It's a multi-career approach to life. Words I live by - Create. Inspire. Provoke thought.  I’m currently the creative director for an up and coming marketing agency based in New York’s capital city, Albany. With 10 plus years of creative direction, video production, editing, copywriting, client relations, and project management - rarely saying no to an opportunity (I’ve even written blogs for a teeth whitening company) has helped me open doors and created a great network of friends, colleagues, and respected mentors. 
Writing about hockey, or any spots for that matter is purely for enjoyment. The mind needs passion projects to help nurture its growth. Anything that breeds creativity is worth it. As a director, editor, or shooter - it's all about telling a great story. The story is king.
