Leon developed a love for photography at the early age of eight when he was given a camera as a gift by his father. He and his father would spend hours taking pictures and developing them in the tool shed his father converted into a darkroom. As he grew older, he continued to pursue his first love by obtaining a bachelor's degree in photography from the New York Institute of Art and starting his own photography business. Leon currently lives in Albany, Ga. with his wife and two kids and works as a Paramedic in Dougherty and Lee county.
