Len Colamarino is a resident of Atascadero. After living here for some three years, Len became active in civic affairs due to his growing concern about the problems plaguing Atascadero's commercial and government sectors. While he will remain content in Atascadero regardless of what is done about those problems, Len started this website on the premise that it will be a service and benefit for all parties concerned if Atascadero's commercial and governmental failings can be remedied.

Len's professional background is as a lawyer, having practiced business law in New York City for almost thirty years. After graduating in 1976 from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he was a staff editor of the Law Review, Len went to work at a large Wall Street law firm. Upon developing his own corporate clientele in the early 1980s, Len started a boutique corporate law firm with two other partners. That firm, Colamarino & Sohns, LLP, located in Midtown Manhattan across from St. Patrick's Cathedral, at 645 Fifth Avenue, was where he maintained his practice until he relocated to California at the end of 2004. Throughout those years, Len enjoyed a sophisticated general business practice which embraced, among other things, dispute resolution, including litigation and arbitration, corporate governance, finance, drafting and negotiating of contracts for many kinds of transactions and international law. His practice also acquainted Len with numerous industries and exposed him to various kinds of businesses.

Before attending law school, Len majored in economics, and minored in political science and history, at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He received his B.A. in 1973, summa cum laude, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Epsilon (an honorary economics fraternity).

Len has served as a director of numerous corporations, and continues to serve as a director, as well as a member of management and legal officer, for several corporations in which he has an interest as a principal, none of which are located in San Luis Obispo County.

Len was born in Rochester, New York, in 1951. He is married to Katrin Colamarino, who maintains a consulting practice directed at non-profit organizations, as well as a busy schedule of local volunteer activity.
