Leonard Stegmann is an American humor writer. He grew up in Bethpage, Long Island and currently lives in Half Moon Bay, California. He was attracted to humor from an early age, going so far as to read every joke and riddle book in his elementary school library. Later, his two less-than-stellar attempts at stand-up comedy convinced him that he belonged not in front of an audience but in front of a computer screen. The list of Leonard Stegmann's  comedic literary influences is lengthy, and includes H.L. Mencken, Mark Twain and Douglas C. Kenney. His books include People and Things That Went Before,  My Jobs and Why They All Sucked and Leonard's Pantload of Quizzes, and are available on Amazon. 

Leonard Stegmann received a "Participant" certificate in his fifth grade science fair.
