Buzz Leer, a native of Minneapolis, Minn., earned his bachelor of fine arts/ acting/directing from the University of North Dakota. He moved west to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles. After a few television commercials and endless auditions, he started a career in sales and marketing and found success in vice president of sales positions for several home furnishings companies. Leer also designed retail stores and restaurants.
His design work led to actual building of spaces, where he honed his handyman skills for several years. Leer moved to the San Francisco Bay area, where he continued to work in sales and marketing but never lost his love of performing. He landed several national and local television commercials, radio voice-overs and print modeling work while raising four "awesome" children whom Leer calls the love of his life. In addition to his role as a "soccer dad," his hobbies include travel and sports. Leer says hosting
House Detective has been a new beginning and a dream come true. He and his family continue to reside in the San Francisco Bay area.
