Donna and Larry Weidl have each called Santa Barbara home for most of their lives. Donna immigrated from China in 1990 and attended Hollister Elementary, La Colina Junior High, San Marcos High School, Santa Barbara City College, and California State University Channel Islands, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. Larry was born in Los Angeles and moved to Santa Barbara at age seven. His mother and her two sisters had left Germany during World War II, settled in Montreal, and later moved to California. Larry attended Dos Pueblos High School.

Donna is a Senior Vice President and Wealth Management Advisor with Merrill. She has received several Forbes Besin-State honors for wealth advisors, women wealth advisors, and wealth management teams. The Pacific Coast Business Times has also recognized her as a Top 40 Under 40 honoree and one of the Top 50 Women in Business. A former Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara recipient, Donna now serves on its Board of Directors, chairs its Investment Committee, and sits on its Executive Committee.

Larry started a landscaping business at 18 that grew into carpentry, remodeling, and general construction. For more than 35 years, he has worked on homes and commercial properties throughout Santa Barbara. During the real estate downturn of the 1990s, he also became an owner of Zelo’s Bar and Lounge. His 15 years there included six as owner and general manager. Larry has supported the Children’s Creative Project, Special Olympics, the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, and organizations assisting veterans.

Family and community are central to both Donna and Larry. Earlier in her life, Donna became the legal guardian of her younger sister and her first husband’s cousin while they were teenagers. Her sister graduated from Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management and works in finance in New York City. Her cousin is raising three children and completing her bachelor’s degree through the University of Colorado.

Donna and Larry met while hiking in Jesusita Canyon on July 4, 2018, and married in 2021. They live on a five-acre ranchette in Goleta with their German Shorthaired Pointer, Addie, and cat, BoBo. They enjoy gardening, raising chickens, hiking, boating, traveling, cooking, and entertaining friends. Larry also enjoys golf, fishing, woodworking, and time aboard their boat, Primo. As he looks toward retirement in the next few years, he hopes to spend more time on the water and improving his golf game.

The Weidls are members of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club and have close friends at La Cumbre. They look forward to golf, social activities, and building lasting friendships at the Club. Donna is especially looking forward to Friday Mahjong.

Whitney and Sean have spent the past fifteen years at La Cumbre Country Club as guests, attending events, playing golf, and watching their boys take swim lessons on the pool deck. Whitney's grandmother was a member in the 1970s, and her mother and father were married at the Club in 1975, so joining feels like a natural next chapter for their family.

Sean is looking forward to many more years of golf at the Club, while Whitney is excited for pickleball, the community events, and the family-friendly atmosphere the Club offers Jack and Hudson. Together, they look forward to becoming members and continuing their family's long connection to LCCC for years to come.

Garrett & Rachel Stanton

Associate (Conversion from Social)

Meet the Stanton family: Garrett, Rachel, Maddie (9), and Declan (5)—Hope Ranch residents who feel fortunate to call Santa Barbara and La Cumbre home.

California natives, Garrett and Rachel got engaged on Haskell’s Beach in 2012 and married in Monterey the following year. Their careers in technology took them through Silicon Valley, where both children were born, and several years overseas. Along the way came lasting friendships, a love of travel, and plenty of inspiration for their kitchen. But the coast where their story began always called them back.

In 2022, they purchased a nearly century-old Hope Ranch property across the 12th fairway, overlooking Laguna Blanca. With a substantial redevelopment ahead, they are putting down deeper roots and creating a home for family gatherings, friendships, and the everyday adventures of raising two young children.

Since joining La Cumbre as Social Clubhouse members in 2023, the Stantons have found much of that life already taking shape. Pool afternoons, holiday celebrations, and familiar faces have turned the Club into an extension of home. They are especially grateful for the warmth of members across generations, who have made finding their place here feel easy.

Both children attend Vieja Valley Elementary. Declan plays Little League, while Maddie keeps busy with flag football and Momentum Dance Company. Between school, playing fields, beach days, and their work in technology, Garrett and Rachel treasure having their own slice of paradise—and such good company to share it with.

Garrett describes himself as a decent golfer, at best, but sharing the game and its traditions with his children was a big part of La Cumbre’s appeal. Rachel brings her enthusiasm for fitness to spin and Pilates and is exploring tennis and golf. Away from those pursuits, the family enjoys cooking, wine tasting in the valley, gathering friends around a table, and a recent adventure in beekeeping.

Becoming Associate members is an opportunity they have long looked forward to. They hope to take a more active role in Club life, support its programs and future improvements, and help other families find the friendships and sense of home they have found here.

As their own home enters a new chapter alongside La Cumbre’s, the Stantons look forward to more time on the course, around the pool, and among the people who make this community special. They are grateful to be part of it—and eager to return the welcome.

Ben Johnson & Dale Tylor

The Johnsons are a family of four who have been living in Santa Barbara since 2017. 

Ben Johnson is originally from West Virginia and attended elementary school in Pittsburgh. His middle and high school years were spent in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After completing college in New York at Columbia University, he moved to Los Angeles to teach high school science as part of the Teach for America program, and he eventually attended medical school at UCSD where he met his wife, Dale Tylor. He completed a surgical internship at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, and radiology residency at Stanford as well as post residency fellowships in the Bay Area. When not working, Ben is a hobbyist, spending time cooking pizza, roasting coffee, making wine, coaching his kids, watching sports, and constantly dreaming up new projects to work on at home.

Dale is originally from Montreal, Canada and completed all of her school years there, culminating with medical school at McGill University. She then moved to the US in 2002 for residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Florida, and then made her way to San Diego where she completed a fellowship in complex pediatric otolaryngology. She was an assistant professor in otolaryngology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville TN for several years. She relocated to the Bay Area for Ben’s training where she was a general and pediatric otolaryngologist. She is a co-founder and co-owner of Riviera ENT since 2020 and is a comprehensive and complex pediatric otolaryngologist. Her patients often travel long distances to seek her expertise. She loves to be active and is currently coaching her daughter in AYSO soccer for the 4th year while training for her next half marathon. She is also exploring painting and other artistic endeavors.

After Ben finished his training in radiology, he and Dale settled in Santa Barbara with their son, Wyatt (age 12), and daughter, Josephine (age 10), and have become active members in the community. The children attend St Raphael school. Each child is active in sports, having won medals in jiu jitsu, and participating in local sports leagues in soccer, flag football, basketball, baseball, and now tackle football. They each have been practicing piano for years. Wyatt is a voracious reader, and Josie is an avid artist. The Johnsons have a love of being active and traveling, and in recent years have built wonderful memories in such faraway places as Belize, Malaysia, Iceland, England and France.

Ben began golfing at medical school, taking advantage of UCSD’s La Jolla zip code to play resident twilight golf at Torrey Pines. The family golf game is very much a work in progress, but it is their intention to all improve and spend more time outside playing golf together for many years to come. Additionally, they would love to learn how to play tennis, particularly getting the kids involved in the La Cumbre tennis community. Finally, both children love the water and have participated in junior guard programs and would like to consider exploring swim team offerings.

For about 7 years, the Johnsons were members of the Cathedral Oaks Athletic club and enjoyed the community feel there and the friends that they made swimming at the pool with other families. Now that the kids are older, they are looking for a similar community with a more comprehensive set of offerings, and are excited for the member events, dining, and athletic experiences that La Cumbre will offer. They have a number of friends, many through the tight knit Santa Barbara physician community, who are members that have raved about their experience at the club. The Johnson family feels that they are a great fit for this community, and they are looking forward to the decades of memories that will be made there.
