Ten years ago through a series of unfortunate events I left my home country to move into this one. Those events turned out to be positive in the end because it resulted in the reunion of my whole family, all 10 of us! I began school and my path towards learning the English language. It took about three years for me to become comfortable in using it but it definitely was a struggle. Now I'm in college studying two of my passions; film and writing. I thought to myself, what is the best way to combine them? Screenwriting was the answer so I chose this as the career for my future. I chose this as my career during my third year in college so in a way, I feel like I'm a step behind most people. I'll catch up, I'm sure of that. I have to completed screenplays but have been unable to them out there. I'm hoping to used this as a platform to get my name out there.

When asked about his musical influences, Geno often points out his love for the decade of '70's music, but that his interests and influences range from "Sinatra to Meat Loaf"! Geno has been performing since 1973, and has performed at such venues as The Costa Mesa Fairgrounds, The California State Fairgrounds, The Silverton Hotel and Casino, Disneyland, and The Riverfront Lodge.
