Born in England, Robert Geller, at a young age, moved with his family to Melbourne, Australia, where he would frequently head to the racetrack to watch horses compete.

A qualified speech pathologist, (he graduated from the Lincoln Institute of Health Sciences with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in communication disorders), Geller worked in a variety of roles in that field.

He pursued his long-standing passion for calling races on the weekends, part-time work that included harness, greyhound and thoroughbred racing in his home state of Victoria.
