Presently, I am an Assistant Professor of Health in the Department of Movement Arts, Health Studies, and Leisure Studies (MAHPLS)  at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

I maintain this website as a means to reach out to my students, professional colleagues, other academics, and the community at large. My main focus centers around health education, but I am also heavily involved in the fields of strength and conditioning and athletic training.

In terms of research, I focus on issues in male health, body image, violence and aggression, and androgenic anabolic steroid abuse in adolescent populations.

I am always open to discussing new ideas, concepts, and collaborative endeavors. Please feel free to contact me at jleoneatc@yahoo.com
