Farewells are always bittersweet. Especially when they involve someone as innovative and inspiring as our resident “SimMan” and MMSIV Division Chief, Mr. Geoff Miller. After six years with us, Geoff officially hung up his TATRC hat and headed down the road to fulfill a brand new role as the Director of the Johns Hopkins University Medicine Simulation Center! A truly outstanding opportunity for him, and we are thrilled to see what incredible things he comes up with next in the simulation world!
A highly respected TATRC team member since August 2015, Geoff has proven to be an invaluable asset whose extraordinary vision and pioneering spirit established our NEXUS lab, and skyrocketed TATRC into the sights of MRDC HQ, Army Futures Command, and beyond. Geoff’s unique ideas helped to transform our outdoor field environment and served as the driving force in how we showcase our medical simulation scenarios today.
To send him off and show our gratitude for all he’s done, the team came together for an in-person farewell reception where various staff members shared stories and words of appreciation, including our Deputy Director, LTC Sharon Rosser, our Chief of Staff, Ms. Cheryl Merritt, our Science Director, Mr. Matt Quinn, our Senior Enlisted Advisor, SSG Andrew Smith, as well as a special appearance from USAMRDC Operations, SGM Mario Wible, who presented Geoff with the USAMRDC Commander’s Coin.
While it’s hard for us to “LEGO®,” (those of you who know Geoff know that his LEGO® obsession knows no bounds) we know that Geoff will continue to innovate and expand horizons in the world of medical simulation. As Mr. Quinn stated, “Geoff’s legacy is embedded everywhere you look here at TATRC,” and we look forward to honoring that legacy by continuing on with the same spirit and passion as Geoff shared with all of us!
Team TATRC wishes you the best of luck in your new role at JHU!
