After a successful 10 year career as a Navy engineer, Leo worked as a consultant and sales engineer for the semiconductor and telecommunications industry. He completed advanced management application training (Total Quality Management) in addition to earning a BA in Organizational Management in 1995 with St. Mary's College of California. He left the corporate culture to follow his passion and entered the art business as a sales consultant. His passion for excellence and love for the arts enabled his quick rise in the gallery world landing him a director position in one of the largest fine art galleries in the country within two years. Over the following five years he would deal with the works of Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Rembrandt, Andy Warhol and a myriad of historically important and contemporary artists. As one of the leading directors, the gallery generated over $60 million with $1 million+ in personal acquisitions annually. While it was exciting to work with artwork from these well-known artists, his true passion grew to be contemporary art and its influence on culture and consciousness. Launching Gallery Culture in 2003 as a hobby, he provided free artist portfolio hosting and event listings, thus creating a national network of artists and contacts. In 2003 he produced a six-month bi-weekly mini-series covering the San Francisco emerging arts community in addition to conducting countless interviews. In 2005 he curated his first museum exhibition that included the publication of the artist's catalog reasonne' and a documentary film. In 2007 while in the care of the SF VA, he experienced a traumatic brain injury due to staff negligence resulting in complete retrograde amnesia. It would be months before his memory began to return and when he was ready to return to work, he became a consciousness researcher.
