Mike Leonard is the owner and founder of Over the Edge Productions, a New York based television and video production company. Mike started OTE in 2005 to merge his television career and side projects into one; little did he know, he had created a monster! Working in television for the last six years has helped Mike build Over the Edge Productions into what it is today.
Mike works with various networks, but most frequently MTV, as a producer on various reality, documentary and live entertainment programs. Other credits include director, producer, editor and director of photography for various shows and networks including Discovery, National Geographic, MTV among others.
In 2004, his passion for video and its power to do truly amazing things took Mike to Vietnam to film a promo for a non-profit operating there. Since then he created a niche for himself, and a passion, for filming in third world countries and using video to bring awareness and funding to various charities operating around the world. This work has taken him all over the world and to some of the most remote parts of Africa, Asia, South and Central America.
In addition to running OTE, Mike is a firefighter and leads a very active lifestyle. His favorite hobbies include rock & ice climbing, whitewater kayaking, snowboarding and martial arts.
