Initially, Larry was headed toward the ministry, but his career path changed when he discovered an aptitude for business and management. He has held positions as an accountant, city manager, vice president and chief financial officer of a private college, and chief financial officer of a Canadian startup firm.

In 1999, Larry shifted into personal financial planning because, as he says — he appreciates how financial planning melds the qualitative human side (values, priorities, behavior) with the quantitative financial element (strategies, “the math”).

In his current role as a financial advisor with Wealth Enhancement, Larry specializes in helping people age 50+ create and manage a financial roadmap that’s designed to help them live the life they want.

In addition to being quoted in national media, Larry has been featured on consumer financial sites Investopedia, NerdWallet, WalletHub, and BrightScope.

Larry and his wife live in Clackamas, Oregon. In his free time, he enjoys kayaking with his wife, vigorous trail hikes and reading about a wide range of topics to satisfy his curiosity.
