Leif is a castaway from Survivor: One World and part of the all-male Manono tribe. He is remembered for being the first person with dwarfism to compete on Survivor. Although physically he was able to keep up with the rest of his tribe, if not out perform them, he was considered an outsider by the main alliance of Matt, Michael, Jay, and Bill. Thus, when Colton used his Idol to band together the “misfits”, Leif became a member, along with Jonas, Troy, and Greg – together they blindsided Matt. Leif pissed off his own alliance when he told Bill that Colton wanted to target him next, causing his own alliance to question him and his loyalty, putting a target on Leif himself. During a tribe swap, Leif remained on Manono with Greg , Jonas, and Colton. Together they blindsided Monica Culpepper.
Expecting to go to tribal on Day 17, Leif was poised to be the swing vote between both sides of the remaining Manono, but the tribes merged. At the merge, Leif was one of the only ones who didn’t vote for Jonas, leaving him in the minority and without an alliance. He joined the others in voting for Michael at the second tribal after the merge. He came close to winning the third individual immunity, but dropped out so he could have cheeseburgers, fries, and a beer. On Day 27, Troy won individual immunity, leaving him and Greg as the targets. Although Troy smartly tried to rally the outsiders to vote out Kim, Alicia and Christina threw their votes towards Tarzan, while Tarzan himself voted for Leif, sending Leif to the jury in a 4-3-2 vote, making him the 4th member of the jury. Leif (and Troy) were the only ones to vote for Sabrina at the Final Tribal Council. He got divorced from his wife, Briana Manson (Rene’e) in 2013. She would later go on to start on Little People: LA and RuPaul’s Drag Race (as the dwarf Kim Chi transformed, Miso Chi). The two of them have a child. After Survivor, Leif appeared on Tosh.0 and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and the hit film The Internship Games.
