Following high school, Len went to work in the oil fields, and doing pipeline work. He traveled over much of the country to different oil fields as he worked. Along the way, he did some bounty hunting. Later, Len moved to Texas and began working on a ranch. For ten years, Len was with Ceja, doing seismic work. The last eleven years was spent ranching. Len loved hunting and fishing, almost as much as he loved his family. He was especially pleased when he could bring the two together. Some of his family were blessed by Len being the one to help with their first deer and fish. Spending time his nieces, nephews, and grandchildren brought him great joy. In 2008, he began dating his sweetheart Betty Hutchison, having blessed her with his love until his passing.
