Hometown: Stigler, OK School: Stanford

Leo, a Native American of the Choctaw Tribe, grew up in a heavily wooded rural area eleven miles outside a small town in Oklahoma. Although he does not quite remember, he believes that he has been a scholar since his first days. Leo took a year off after his senior year after a rather fortunate accident. During this time, he painted, plumbed, and worked on computers in order to earn the money to volunteer at the James Moody Adams Healthcare Center (Clínica Amicus) in Tegucigalpa, Honduras for several months.
Leo defines his life mostly in terms of his mind. He tends to think on levels from the infinite to the infinitesimal - sometimes unable to see what is in front of his eyes. Despite this mental hypermyopia, Leo takes great pleasure in life: nature, people, and ideas constantly flow through his mind in a harmonious composition whose movements continually bring him immense joy. A student of everything, Leo currently finds himself learning in and around Stanford University.
