Dr. Leonhardt graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelors degree in biology with a minor in biomedical sciences in 2011. He further pursued his optometric education at Midwestern University Arizona College of Optometry (AZCOPT) and graduated with honors as a Doctor of Optometry in 2015. Dr. Leonhardt returned to his home state of Colorado and after working for local optometrists for several years decided to open his own practice to better treat his patients and give them the time and care they deserve. He opened Infocus Eye Care in Colorado Springs during the summer of 2019 where he is happily seeing patients to this day.

During his time at AZCOPT, Dr. Leonhardt was active in many extracurricular activities. He served the class council for many years as class representative to better structure the school to meet the needs of the students. Dr. Leonhardt was an active member in Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity(SVOSH), a volunteer group that travels to less fortune countries to provide aid. AZCOPT participated in annual mission trips to Senora Mexico to perform eye exams and give treatment to those in need. Later was elected by his peers to become president of SVOSH and ultimately developed a passion for helping other see as best as they possibly can, regardless of financial or social standings. After achieving top tier grades, he was inducted into the BSK honor society for optometry students and graduated as secretary of the society.

While attending optometry school in Arizona he met his future wife Karen and in 2017 became a loving and happy Husband. Together they are home to two lovely dogs Winston and Daisy. On their free time together, they enjoy going to the movies, staying up late playing board games, and attending local concerts and breweries.
