Aged 17, Geordie read a book and was inspired to try and climb the highest mountain on every continent. The following four years were spent pursuing this and, in 2011, he succeeded in climbing Everest on his second attempt, and became the youngest Briton to climb the Seven Summits.

In July 2018, Geordie wrote his first book In Search of Sisu about his journey on and off the mountains during his Seven Summits attempt.

In August 2018, Geordie departed the UK to begin a long-distance cycle tour around the world. He rode solo across four continents for 430 days and covered 22,500 miles. He returned home to London in October 2018 having successfully completed this journey.

He is the only person to have climbed the Seven Summits and cycled around the world.

He graduated from the University of St Andrews and served for five years as a British Army Officer with the Light Dragoons.
