Poppa Mac

Poppa Mac assures us that all his poetry and stories are 100% true except for the parts he has made up. He shares real life in poetry and stories that connect with the audience, with his poetry coming from the point of view of someone who has been there and down that. His travels have taken him all over Canada and the United States delighting audiences at trail rides, rodeos, cowboy churches, and gatherings.

He was born in Manitoba Canada, and raised throughout Western Canada. Geoff was drawn to the Cowboy Life style at an early age. He has done just about everything there is to do on a ranch. Started at the bottom as a waddie and worked his way up to wrangler. Even did a season or 12 as the chuck cook. Poppa Mac worked the rodeo arena as a rodeo clown, wrangler and Preacher. He still finds time to help out in the pasture working cattle.
