“Staten Island Skateboarder Grinds it Out as Real Estate Agent”

“STATEN ISLAND — He’s been named the city’s best amateur skateboarder, has a prestigious sponsorship deal with DC shoes and has been featured in Transworld Skateboarding magazine.

But instead of skating on the pro-circuit, Staten Islander Leo Heinert, 23, spends his days showing New Yorkers Brooklyn apartments.

Since his mother moved back to Ecuador, Heinert has been working as a real estate agent for Nooklyn to pay for the mortgage of his Westerleigh home.

When he’s not skating, he’s showing homes in neighborhoods like Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy.” -Nicholas Rizzi DNA Info
