These days, Rico León may be "Denver's most trusted fixer," but in an interview with KDVR, he revealed that he never planned to live in Colorado. In the mid-2010s, León was on his way out to California to start a new life. "I was going to sell Porsches with a good friend of mine. Never made it," he said. León was crossing the Centennial State when he ran into car trouble.
"My car actually, like, exploded," he told 9News (via YouTube). "It was like an actual, like, an event. But then I was forced to stay here, and then of course, like everyone else, fell in love with Colorado. ... I was just like, 'This is a breath of fresh air.' I've been here since."
In the years that he's lived in the Mile High City, León has gotten involved in the community. For a while, he hosted a podcast dedicated to interviewing local Denver business owners, according to an interview in Defined Magazine. He also regularly shares snapshots of his life online, attending events put on by community organizations like the Denver Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (via Instagram). Now that "Rico to the Rescue" films in the city, it's safe to say that Denver is León's new hometown.
