John Leonard resides in the Fox Chase area of Philadelphia along with his beautiful wife, Chareese and three awesome sons. He is currently a substitute schoolteacher for the Cheltenham School District, Lieutenant / Supervisor for Allied Universal Security, and Musical Director for Linconia Tabernacle Christian Center in Trevose, PA. Mr. Leonard is a graduate of Community College of Philadelphia as well as New School University in New York.His parents were very instrumental in molding him into the person that he has become. His mother recognized something in him at a very early age when he interacted with others. She often uttered, "Johnny, you're very passionate towards people." It was his mother who helped him to understand my purpose in life. As he matured, he saw his purpose begin to unfold through experiences in church, music, education, and career choices. |
With a consistent urge to pursue and strengthen his goals and knowledge, he found he wanted to empower, mentor, teach and lead others to become more then what they see within themselves.Mr. Leonard was always taught that if you reach one you teach one. The only way we can live is if we grow. The only way we can grow is if we change. The only way we can change is if we learn. Life is beautiful but can always be better when we as a people realize it's never too much to reach down to extend a hand towards someone that's in need, pull them up and give them a sense of hope, value, appreciation, and love. |
