He attended Seaquam Secondary School in North Delta and missed his high school graduation formal for a competition.

In 2004, Leech produced and starred in his own film, Manifesto, where he attempted to transform trials riding by eliminating setup and recovery hops. In late 2005, Leech released his second DVD, Mastering the Art of Trials, which was an instructional compilation of 38 trials related skills.
