He was known for being an avid gymnast in his younger years. He always loved the beach, beautiful scenery, to shop and travel. Leo enjoyed the finer things in life. He obtained an accountant degree in Boston and worked for the IRS for many years before moving to New York and switching careers to become a hairstylist.
