Ripo

To my family, I am Junior.... to my Classmates, I am "RIPO"... And to my new family & friends, I am LEO! I am the middle child of 5... Born to Filipo Leo, Sr of Vaiusu, Upolu... & Foketi Ma'afala of Aua, American Samoa... I am happily married, content and blessed w/ 5 wonderful rugrats... We reside in the dirty, dirty South... The Southern state of Alabama that is... I live a very simple and ordinary life... like many others, working & spending time w/ my family is my biggest priority... I am the person that I am today,... thanks to a very disciplined upbringing by my mother,... the patience and calmness of my father,... and the love,the kindness, the generosity, the forgiving, the understanding, the heart of my great-grandmother... the late SIUPOLU MA'AFALA. Life hadn't always been a fairy tale for me. I have gone through my own trials & tribulations of life and thought that life wasn't fair... But, through the love & support of my incredible wife,... I have learned to conquer ALL!!!
