Geoffrey C. Parks was born in Queens, New York, in a typically normal dysfunctional family. Shooting marbles, tossing baseball cards, banging the tambourine for the Salvation Army, and going to Far Rockaway and the Bronx Zoo with his dad and brother were some of the highlights of his early years. He currently lives in Laguna Niguel, California, with his wife and soul mate, Heather. He has four children and nine grandchildren. He still surfs, snowboards, and exercises regularly with his wife. He has had thirty years of amazing psychotherapy, and meets every week with a group of men who share their fears, dreams, and hopes. His mantra is "peace and love," and he focuses his heart on living a conscious life. His poetry and novels are a manifestation of his beliefs.
