He attended New York University and received a Bachelor of Arts in 1969. After graduating he moved to Chicago where he was one of the founding members of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Leo proudly raised his girls in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, IL while working at the Exchange. In 2000 Leo and Carol moved to Scottsdale, AZ where he worked as a retirement specialist at Vanguard. He enjoyed spoiling his loved ones, including his many dogs. Leo thrived off of using his brilliant mind and shared his gifts as a volunteer math tutor and as an ongoing student himself continually taking classes over the years at the Scottsdale Community College.
