Geoff Shepard holds degrees from both Whittier College and Harvard Law School. He joined the Nixon administration in 1969 as a White House Fellow and then served on the White House Domestic Council for almost five years.
He knew and had worked with almost all of the major Watergate figures. Following the departures of Bob Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and John Dean from the White House in April of 1973, he assumed a key role in defending President Nixon–which included helping transcribe the White House tapes and running the document rooms that held the seized files of departed aides, as well as briefing senior White House spokesmen on Watergate developments.
He later testified as a government witness in the Plumbers trial and was subpoenaed as a government witness in the Cover–up trial.
Geoff moved to Philadelphia in 1976, where he has worked for various insurance companies. He also has arranged and hosted annual reunions of Nixon–Ford White House policy planning staffs for most of the past three decades.
