Leo has worked in crisis intervention and community organizing for nearly thirty years, and for the last twenty has been involved with the Federation to assist with disaster recovery efforts and new colony organization efforts on the frontier. As part of this, Dr. Holmes has significant experience in working with first contact situations and other high-stakes negotiation situations. While he holds a doctorate, he generally goes by “Leo” after initial introductions. Leo maintains credentials allowing him to provide therapy services while serving on Federation starships, and sometimes maintains a ‘private practice’ while on ships. This means that Leo is able to conduct mental status evaluations, which are a submittable alternative to psychiatric exams generally performed by the ship CNS.

Leonard is not actually a Federation officer but is contracted by Star-Fleet to work aboard ships. For the sake of hierarchy, Leo holds the diplomatic rank equivalent to Lieutenant Commander.
