About the Creator

Hello! I’m Leo Davis, the creator and lead author of Lease Horizon. With over 12 years of professional experience in the automotive and finance industries, I’m dedicated to helping individuals navigate car leasing with clarity and confidence.

Experience & Expertise

My journey started as a leasing consultant at a national auto dealership group, where I gained in-depth knowledge of lease structures, residual values, and negotiation strategies. Over the years, I transitioned into financial advisory roles, consulting for local dealerships and hosting webinars focused on consumer empowerment in leasing decisions.

Key credentials:

  • Certified Automotive Leasing Professional (CALP)
  • Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC)
  • Guest speaker at regional auto finance conferences

Authoritativeness

At Lease Horizon, my goal is to translate complex leasing terms into simple, actionable advice. My articles—ranging from “Lease vs. Buy” comparisons to deep dives into lease-end buyout options—are researched, accurate, and designed for real-world application. I regularly consult with leasing managers and leaseholders to ensure content stays current with industry practices.

Trust & Transparency

I believe in building trust through transparency. That’s why every article on this site:

  • Includes clear sources and references—industry reports, dealership guidelines, and financial calculators.
  • Discloses when content includes affiliate links. I only recommend services I’ve personally vetted or used.
  • Prioritizes your interests—whether you’re negotiating lease terms, considering lease transfer, or exploring lease-end options.

Continuing Education & Quality

I stay informed by:

  • Participating in continuing education through the American Association of Lease Professionals.
  • Monitoring updates to F&I (Finance & Insurance) regulations affecting leasing practices.
  • Attending leasing seminars and auto shows to connect with experts and stay ahead of consumer trends.

Thank you for visiting Lease Horizon. I hope you find the information helpful, actionable, and trustworthy. If you’d like to connect or ask questions, feel free to reach out via the contact page.
