Leo is a writer, comedian, entrepreneur, political wonk, non-profit leader, gadfly, master debater, and cat dad.
He grew up as a conservative evangelical Republican before obsessive research turned him into a progressive, latte-sipping libtard with a degree in politics, economics, and philosophy -- what a Kant!
By day, he's the CEO of Voltaire Cannabis (a licensed boutique dispensary in New Jersey). But by night, he's a speaker and screenwriter who performs stand-up, participates in debates, and is both a DJ and karaoke enthusiast. He has worked in politics, law, business, non-profits, and education; all before realizing that he was perhaps teleologically meant to be yet another cynical Jew in comedy.
