Leland is from the La Habra, California. He and his wife migrated to family-friendly Virginia, leaving the fast-paced California lifestyle, to raise their 4 boys. He grew up in a family of dancers and musicians, developing a passion for movement; he carried it into a competitive athletic career playing football, wrestling and track & field in high school and college.
It was in Virginia that Leland was able to discover his true passion: working with athletes. What he lacked as an athlete, he wanted to provide to others. Through the encouragement, faith and support of the community, Leland and his family incorporated Aiga Performance. A place for athletes, by athletes.
Understanding his blessings from God, Leland changes athletes physically, mentally, and spiritually.
