A lifelong resident of the West Indies,
poker aficionado and renowned Caribbean
businessman, Leo T. Barbel, is best-known
for his success in the private sector and his
commercial holdings—including the
shopping plaza that bears his family name.
Seen regularly challenging friends on the
tennis court, he began playing the game
early on and played collegiately in
Minnesota—followed by a two-year stint
in the military—before returning home to
St. Thomas. In 1972, Barbel and Vic
Ebbensen, two of the territory’s leading
tennis players, became the first to
represent the Virgin Islands at the U.S.
Open in Forest Hills, New York. The duo
maintained their top ranking in the region
for several years.
Barbel served as Chairman of the board of
trustees at our local Hospital, Board
Member of several local Banks, and is a
founding member of numerous civic
organizations.
Paradise Rush is his first novel.weniger sehen
