He has extensive experience at international “Big 4, national and local accounting and consulting firms which provided tremendous hands-on expertise working with executives and management team members of some of the largest and most successful companies and professional service firms in the world as well as with highly creative entrepreneurs. While at the then largest of the national firms, he was selected as one of eleven firm members from across the U.S.A. to develop a special litigation consulting practice and was integrally involved in a variety of major historic litigation cases including U.S. v. IBM and U.S. v. ABC, CBS. He has also served as an expert witness in business litigation cases.

Having known the extremes of both victory and success as well as struggle and stress, Larry has passionately committed his career to helping others succeed. He states, “Hope is great, but it’s NOT a strategy. Hoping that things might change directions on their own isn’t the best way to lead your life and build your career or business. It’s unpredictable, unfulfilling, and unreliable. Ordinary people, with committed and focuses coaching, can lead extraordinary lives! Everyone can be empowered to live their life by choice instead of by chance, and experience The Power of Success by Design!™”
