Growing up in Sitio Catambisan, Barangay Mantalongon, Dalaguete, Cebu, Engr. Geoman has always been driven by a strong passion for learning.

His achievements have made him a standout among Dalaguete Municipal Scholars.
In a local radio interview, Geoman expressed his joy and gratitude, stating that his success means he can now support his parents, whose sacrifices for his education have now borne fruit.
