LEO
Leo has become Nationally known for his entertaining and dynamic performances that powerfully provoke real change in his audiences. With his spoken word and comedic edge Leo is truly able to connect with everyone he speaks to. After eating his way through life Leo has become a self-proclaimed “pizza connoisseur”.
He has now spoken in hundreds of events across North America empowering students, educators and corporations to take control of the emotions that drive our choices.
From creating award-winning school curriculum with his company TDS Education to publishing books and collaborating with the worlds largest brands Leo is truly more than a speaker, he is a game changer!
Raised in Scarborough, a multicultural inner city of Toronto known for its crime and violence, Leo was able to build the foundation of his character. Nearly becoming a statistic like many of his peers Leo used his infectious energy and ambition to carve out a life no one ever thought possible.
After a violent run-in with a youth trying to rob him Leo was left for dead with two close-range bullet wounds. Hours later a mailman found his lifeless body and the journey to becoming who Leo was meant to be had then just begun.
