Biography

Hello, my name is Jim Leslie.  I joined Saint Paschal Baylon School faculty in 2000 as the Music Teacher and Music and Choir Director.  I grew up in Northridge, California and attended Our Lady of Lourdes School and graduated from Granada Hills High School.  After graduation I earned a Bachelors degree in Music from California State University Northridge and during that time I studied with Andes Segovia.  I toured for three years as the guitarist with the 5th Dimension.  My wife, Denise, and I have two sons who are graduates of SPBS, and are also musicians.  They accompany me at our weekly Friday morning School Mass to provide the music and vocals along with our SPBS School Choir.
