Leigh moved to Kamloops from Saskatchewan in 1981 immediately after graduation from law school. Drawn to the majesty of the BC Interior and all that it has to offer he quickly became a known local skier at Sun Peaks and spent his spare time on a mountain bike, on the golf course or in the hills and mountains throughout the Interior.
After a couple of years practicing in Vancouver, he returned to Kamloops as he missed the city and its surroundings and wanted to raise his family in a smaller community.
