Based in Madison, Wisconsin, The Geo Group was founded in 1991 as an advertising agency with extensive expertise in audio-visual services. The company changed its focus to professional translation services and interpreting services as a result of The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) passing in 1995, which increased the demand for translation in the United States. Today, The Geo Group's translator, linguist, and interpreter network encompasses over 60 countries. Global contractors communicate with the Madison, Wisconsin-based headquarters and sales offices in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
