Keys to Awesomeness: Geoff Boyjian is an outgoing, creative and determined, young man. He is an honors student at Shorecrest Preparatory School and plans dual enrollment at St. Petersburg College in the next school year.
His varied talents cross sports, music and film making.
A talented musician, Boyjian plays guitar and drums in a local rock band.
Boyjian is an active athlete, involved in team and individual sports. For the last seven years, he's been playing hockey. He also enjoys football, track and cross country.
That's just the tip of his outdoor interests. Boyjian is also a wake boarder, skate boarder and snow boarder.
His love of sports rocketed another interest: film making and editing. His creative talent was born after he started filming his friends skate boarding and wake boarding.
Taking it to the next level, Boyjian filmed himself snow boarding by attaching a personal camcorder to his chest and helmet.
Enjoying the recent film successes, his interest is just beginning. Boyijian plans to attend college with a hockey team and study digital editing and creation.
