Geoff grew up primarily in the Mobile, Alabama area where he attended elementary and high school, but lived in Florida and the outlying areas of New Orleans when he was younger.
He co-founded the production company Rooster Teeth in 2003 and is best known for voicing Dexter Grif in the long-running web series Red versus Blue.
He was a semi-pro bowler in his teenage years, and enlisted into the United States Army before graduating high school, beginning basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina shortly afterwards. His service lasted from 1993 to 1998, though he would go on to serve as a photojournalist in Kuwait.
He was based out of Fort Hood during that time.
Prior to working for Rooster Teeth and TeleNetwork, Ramsey worked as a production assistant for View Askew Productions, and before that as a roadie for the band Catch 22. He also co-created the web site drunkgamers.com with Gus Sorola, hiring Burns shortly afterwards to run the site.
As a joke, he changed his middle name to "Lazer". Ramsey is one of the original voice actors for Rooster Teeth"s sci-fi comedy machinima series Red versus
Blue (as the voice of Dexter Grif) which premiered in 2003.
Rooster Teeth offices were first housed in Ramsey"s spare bedroom. Since then, he has gone on to become an Internet celebrity, regularly appearing at conventions such as PAX and Com Blue with Red versus Blue actors Burnie Burns, Gus Sorola, and Joel Heyman on the Drunk Tank Podcast (renamed to The Rooster Teeth Podcast in October 2011).
He has not appeared on the podcast since September 2011, but was one of the hosts on a November 2014 episode of The Patch, Rooster Teeth"s gaming podcast.
Ramsey"s other work with Rooster Teeth includes voicing The Omnipotent Voice in the machinima series The Strangerhood (2004–2006), playing a fictionalized version of himself in both Captain Dynamic (2008) and Rooster Teeth Shorts (2009–present), being a "lab rat" in Immersion (2010) and voicing the Corpirate, the primary antagonist of the animated series X-Ray and Vav (2014).
