During winter break 1989, Len and his friend Graham Crowe created a half hour stop-action Star Trek film using Star Trek and GI Joe action figures. The video can be seen on YouTube.

Years later in 2008, Len was minding his own business when he started to get approached regularly from people telling him how much he looked like Sherlock Holmes and Tony Stark from Iron Man. After several weeks of flattery, he decided to watch Iron Man and realized what people said was possible. This was a crossroads in Len's life as he either needed to change his look and steer away form this publicity or embrace it full on. Len chose to embrace it.

This is when the love of costume-making and prop-making began for Len. In 2010 he found plans to build an Iron man suit (Mark VII) out of Pepakura paper modeling technique. This project took Len more than 9 months of work. L

Len has done cosplay as several other characters as well, including John Bender from The Breakfast Club, Heisenberg/Walter White from Breaking Bad, Will Turner from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and even Idaho’s own Senator Larry Craig. Len, however, always returns to his passion, Iron Man/Tony Stark.

Len also has an Iron Man-inspired Tesla (Instagram @EndGameTesla) that he completed getting pictures of in front of all 50 state capitals in 2020. On the drive he shared the word: "Be a Superhero - Wear a Mask!".
