About Me

Since 1983, Larry has helped a broad array of individuals and families make life-changing financial decisions. After growing up in the Midwest, he moved to California in 1977 and enrolled in the University of the Pacific’s Eberhardt School of Business, graduating in 1979. His background in marketing and accounting formed an ideal launching pad for his financial services career. 

Holding financial education as a top priority, he has attained three designations that he believes provide him the best opportunity to help you pursue your goals: 

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification – identifies individuals who have met the experience requirements of the CFP Board, have successfully completed financial planning coursework, and have passed the CFP® Certification Examination.

Accredited Investment Fiduciary® designation – identifies individuals who have met the experience requirements of the Center for Fiduciary Studies, a division of Fi360, have gained a fundamental understanding of the principles of fiduciary responsibility and processes for meeting a defined standard of care, and have passed the AIF® examination.

Certified Portfolio Manager® designation – attained through the Academy of Certified Portfolio Managers after completing the prerequisite coursework at Columbia University, covering topics such as portfolio management, financial statement analysis, corporate finance, fixed income analysis, fiduciary responsibility, and more.

Larry believes in maintaining a balance in his life and has been involved with the University of the Pacific Eberhardt School of Business’ advisory board and helped them start the student investment fund. He has also served on many charitable organizations and coached football at St. Mary’s High School, which was very rewarding.

Larry enjoys spending time with his wife, Emily, who has her doctorate in Physical Therapy, and daughter, Gabi. Together, they keep up with the older kids: his daughter, Allie, who lives in Shell Beach and works for a nonprofit, and his son, Matt, who is married to Kayla, and they had Larry’s first grandchild, Wesley. Matt and his wife, Kayla, have made their home in Lincoln.
