Board Member

2026 - present | Board Member

Len's first Bond experience began back in 1973 while watching Live and Let Die at the historic Pickwick theater in Park Ridge, Illinois; which was also childhood hometown to Harrison Ford and Hillary Clinton.

At 17 years old, Len became an apprentice bricklayer and stonemason with Chicago's Union Local 21.

Fourteen years later a career firefighter/ paramedic for 21 years of public service also assisted Len in supporting his wife and three children.

An avid aviation and aerospace aficionado; for the past ten years since retirement he has assisted in the restoration of Bond vehicles at the IFF work weekends. It's a pleasure working on these movie used 007 vehicles with such a great group of other IFF volunteers in such a great organization dedicated to promoting the literary works of Ian Fleming as well.
