Dr. Leonard received his BA degree in Philosophy in 1976 from Albion College in Michigan. His degree led naturally to brief careers in Clinical Psychology, Architecture, Home Remodeling, and Pizza Making. In 1980 be began what has since been a nearly uninterrupted association with the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, as both an employee and as a student. For three years he was a clinical social worker at Central Psychiatric Clinic. For the ten years following that, he was a research assistant and associate with the Traumatic Stress Study Center in UC's Department of Psychiatry, studying traumatic stress in Vietnam Veterans and in survivors of the 1972 dam break in Buffalo Creek, West Virginia. Following this, he returned to school at UC's Department of Environmental Health, where, in 2001, he received his PhD in biostatistics. His graduate and post-graduate work included a fellowship and later a contract position at the United States Environmental Protection Agency in Cincinnati, where he developed improved statistical methods for analyzing DNA fingerprint data from wildlife populations. Dr. Leonard joined the Institute for the Study of Health in 2002, and currently is a biostatistician both there and a frequent consultant at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Dr. Leonard is a biostatistician / research scientist at UC's Institute for the Study of Health. He is the primary statistician on numerous grants originating in the Institute, the UC Medical School, the VA, and Children's Hospital. Dr. Leonard's current research interests include developing methods for examining "diffuse interactions" in clinical trial or epidemiological data (interactions involving a linear combination of numerous main effects), and methods for analyzing variables with severe ceiling/floor effects. He is also interested in the creative application of resampling and other Monte Carlo techniques to real life data analysis problems.
