About Me
My name is JD Leonard. I'm currently enjoying my summer in Europe before I start work in late August. I'll be working for Microsoft in Redmond, WA as a Program Manager in the Windows Live group.
In May 2009 I graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas with a BSCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science). I run an online community for the Rice Class of 2009 to help my classmates keep in touch with each other.
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 were Rye, NY, a suburb of New York City.
Camp Dudley YMCA in Westport, NY is the summer camp that I attended as a "Plebe" in 1999 and as a "Junior" in 2000. I worked at Dudley each summer from 2003 through 2008. In 2008 I was the Plebe Division Head. Dudley is an incredible place full of incredible people and words can not describe its spirit. If you have ever attained the rank of 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!
In my "free" time I run a web hosting business, JDL Hosting. I only provide hosting to people I know personally. I also do custom web development work through the business. I specialize in developing dynamic websites using the Drupal content management management platform. Visit the JDL Hosting website for more information and for my portfolio.

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