Lepp was born in Abbotsford, British Columbia and attended high school at the Mennonite Educational Institute. He began his collegiate golf career at the University of Illinois. In 2005, he won the NCAA Division I Championship while playing for the University of Washington, the first Canadian male to do so. He turned professional in 2006 and joined the Canadian Tour in 2007, winning one event.
In the movie Sideways, Lepp is shown briefly while Myles and Jack are watching golf on TV.[1]
Lepp stopped competing on professional tours in 2010 as he launched Kikkor Golf, a sneaker-inspired golf shoe brand. In 2016, he transitioned Kikkor Golf into a new limited edition sneaker brand called Six Hundred Four. The Six Hundred Four flagship store, called a "Sneaker Gallery", is located in the Gastown neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia.
