Leon says "I'm a divorced father of two awesome boys that are my life. Nothing else matters to me other than spending time with them and seeing the smiles on their faces . My oldest is a pretty good skateboarder and both are very active in sports. They are the only thing I know I've done right in this life and am very proud of that!"
