Welcome to the Official Website for Brian Jenkins Leggero's run to be elected as the next Winnebago County Forest Preserve District.  I care greatly about our Forest Preserves, County of Winnebago, State of Illinois and the United States of America and I am stepping up to the challenge of answering the call to public service.   I am realizing what courage this takes and I am not giving up.   I'm asking for your help and support in this endeouver. If you want someone that will show up at the meetings, return telephone calls, research issues, talk to people, hear both sides of the story before voting and work hard for the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District each and everyday full time, you should vote for me - Brian Jenkins Leggero -. 

Some background information on me:  (I'm also on Facebook)

I was born and raised right here in Rockford, Illinois by a single mother.  As most of you know close to 10 years ago I made a life decision to add my mother's and family name to mine because of our Father leaving my sister and I at a young age and our mother raising us on her own.  I am very proud of my name and decision and of my heritage.  Thanks to a mother that was willing to make great sacrfices I was able to attend private school in Rockford K - 8 at St. Francis Consolidated - St. Anthony, St. Peter and Paul, St. Stanislaus and then graduated from Boylan Central Catholic High School '85 with Junior and Senior years vocational training (Auto Mechanics) at Jefferson High School for part of the day (what happened to VoTec?).  A month after graduation, I packed my bags and moved to Los Angeles at the young age of 17 by myself making me a dual resident of Rockford and Los Angeles.  Dual residency for close to 20 years enjoying a successful career in the music and entertainment business producing and engineering music that resulted in the sale of millions of  records world wide with a wide variety of various artists. 

I came back full time to Rockford to be closer to my family (a majority of my family actually lives right here in Rockford) and were born right here in Rockford..  My mother and sister and very large extended family including three Aunts (1 Deceased R.I.P.), Two Uncle's (1 Deceased R.I.P.), and many many many many Cousins and friends.  I am single and have never been married or have had any children.  I do have a Godchild that I love and treat like a son (hi Petey) :-)
