About Him

When George Carlin’s landmark album “Class Clown” came out in 1972, Leigh could relate. On it, Carlin said something that lit a spark in him, and it wasn’t the “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” Carlin said, “I love words. They’re my work. They’re my play. They’re my passion.” And the way he crashed them into each other and twisted them and elegantly dispensed them made Leigh want words to be his work, his play and his passion.

That was where it all started. And it’s led him to where he is today, Besides crafting words, Leigh loves asking questions. He claims his favorite part of the job is figuring out the right questions. He says this generally leads to better answers. What do you think?

In addition to a coveted penmanship award bestowed upon him by his third-grade teacher, Mrs. Platt, his work has been recognized by Cannes, Communication Arts, OBIE, OMMA, The One Show, Radio Mercury, TBS’ Funniest Commercials, the Wall Street Journal and Webby.

 Leigh’s philosophy: you can never have too many napkins. His favorite quote: the oxen are slow, but the earth is patient. His code name: 46137 (punch it into a calculator and turn it over). He loves baseball and three beautiful women—his daughters, Sloane and Cole, and his wife, Christy—none of whom has ever seen him without his beard. He has no idea why this is written in third person. And neither do I.
