About Leslie

This type of page prompts an existential crisis about who a person really is and what it means to be “about” anything.

To avoid spiraling into paralyzed self-analysis, I’ll keep it short and sweet: I am an American from the United States currently living in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

I read voraciously, love grandly, live purposefully, and try to think expansively. Kindness, curiosity about the world, and interest in people provide my guiding principles. Each day provides opportunity for another adventure, and I try to keep this fact front of mind.

Professionally, I spent the bulk of my career building a marketing firm, FrogDog. I have more recently turned my attention to building my dream career as a fiction and creative nonfiction author.

Via this website, I share my thoughts, writings, wanderings, and experiences, all of which span topics from business to current events to emotional journeys. You can read more details on what to expect on Observing Leslie on its dedicated “About” page. You can support this site via the several methods offered on my “Support” page.

And via this site, I invite interaction with you. Tell me a story. I promise I’ll listen.
