Starbeck, Len: - A native of Northern California, Leonard Starbeck followed family tradition and after high school he joined the Navy, travelling around the world many times over as a navy medical diver. After 35-plus exciting years with the U.S. Navy and working as a government contractor in San Diego and in 39 foreign countries, Starbeck and his wife moved to Park City, Utah, where they had bought their very first home in Utah after buying a timeshare (Purchased Time Share in 1985) together over thirty-five years earlier. He built a wood shop and an art studio, and now he happily calls himself an artist, a writer, repurposing antiques, doing photography and woodworking, teaching work-shop classes and using abalone shells in creative ways.
