About Me

My name is JD Leonard. I work for Microsoft in Redmond, WA as a Program Manager in the Windows Live organization. I most recently worked on Windows Live Mail's "photo email" feature and Windows Live Writer. I live in downtown Bellevue.

In May 2009 I graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas with a BSCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science).

Before arriving in Houston in August 2005, I had lived in London, England with my parents since 1994. I attended The American School in London from 2nd through 12th grade. It is located in St. John's Wood, a neighborhood in northwest London. I graduated as part of the ASL Class of 2005.

Prior to living in London, I spent the first seven years of my life in Rye, NY, a suburb of New York City.

Camp Dudley YMCA in Westport, NY is the summer camp that I attended in 1999 and 2000. I worked at Dudley each summer from 2003 through 2008. Dudley is an amazing place full of incredible people and words can not describe its spirit. If you have ever been Leader or Staff at Camp Dudley, please contact me to get in touch with other Leader/Staff alumni through a community website I run - you won't regret it!

I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, travelling, skiing, and playing board games like Agricola and Settlers of Catan. Let me know if you want to play!

While I usually go by JD ( J.D. ), I am also known as John D. Leonard, John Daniel Leonard, and John Daniel H. Leonard.
