I have been elected president of the Walnut Hills Association for the last 6 terms and in January 2008 and again in 2009 was elected to chair the Southeast Priority Board. Like many residents of this "Gem City" I have become frustrated when dealing with city hall. I have had to deal with personal, neighborhood and district issues when confronting local government. Many people, when frustrated with local government opt to move. I chose to understand how our system works so that I could understand how to get problems resolved within my community. Throughout this endeavor I have had to become quite creative in my thinking process and always encouraged creative thinking within the organizations that I preside over. I ran for Mayor in 2009, to inject creative thinking amongst our elected officials and our city employees. During my four years as mayor Dayton became recognized internationally as a progressive and innovative city. The City had budget surpluses the last three years of my term. All this during the worst depression since 1929.

Brief Bio for Gary Leitzell
Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania in 1961. My father was ex air force working in a steel mill, my mother was his British overseas bride. I was transplanted to Chippenham, England in 1970 where I attended a public grammar school. I graduated from the University of London with a bachelors degree in geology in 1982 and returned to the United States to reacquaint myself with a father that I had not seen in 12 years. I worked in the Pittsburgh, Pa. area until 1994 in several sales and sales management positions. After two lay offs and one merger within the first 10 years of entering the corporate workforce I made the decision to strike out on my own and pursue a hobby related business in 1994 that afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the country. In late 1994, I moved to Dayton, Ohio.
