A Career Built Around the Mission
Leo is a retired U.S. Army Special Operations veteran who served in Psychological Operations. His career was spent inside the mission: planning operations, working intelligence, briefing up the chain of command and running after-action reviews.
Serving in demanding environments taught him to size up new challenges quickly, manage risk, lead diverse teams and make sound decisions under pressure. It also taught him what “mission-critical” really means when people are depending on the result.
Still Serving: Law Enforcement
After retiring from the Army, Leo kept serving his community. He graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training at Central Carolina Community College with the highest score in the state, then joined the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office.
Today he serves in the Criminal Investigation Division, handling complex cases involving digital evidence, electronic communications, financial crimes and intelligence analysis. He uses investigative technology every day, from digital intelligence platforms and surveillance technology to geospatial analysis, so he knows firsthand what works in the field and what doesn’t.
Why It Matters to Our Clients
For defense contractors and DoD organizations, Leo speaks the language: OPSEC, readiness, requirements and chain of command. That makes conversations about CMMC, NIST SP 800-171 and protecting CUI faster and clearer. He knows how program offices, primes and contracting officers think, because for years he was the end user the technology was supposed to serve.
For public-safety agencies and businesses, it means a partner who judges technology by one standard: does it hold up when it counts?
Leading Freedom Tech
As Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Technology Partners, the company behind Freedom Tech, Leo leads the way he served: plan carefully, own the outcome and measure what matters. He focuses on disciplined growth, strong partnerships and long-term relationships with the organizations Freedom Tech serves, and on putting technology to work in ways that are practical for the people who depend on it.
He is continuing his education at Campbell University, studying criminal justice and the changing relationship between technology and society.
Integrity, accountability and results, in the field and in business.
