Leo was born and raised in Philadelphia, he left his old job and packed everything up with his family to start a new company (Turbo Systems) in California. When asked about how do you feel about this decision – leaving everything and moving out with your family. He said it hasn’t been so bad, he knew what he was stepping into.
