Larry was born and grew up in Dixon, Illinois. Shortly after high school he moved to northwest Iowa, and a year later entered the Air Force, where he served for 20 years at several locations around the U.S., as well as Viet Nam and Thailand.

After completing his Air Force career, Larry went to work for a government contractor providing labor for a data center. He worked there for 17 years, starting at an entry level position and working his way up to management.

Larry later worked 10 years as a contractor for AT&T in several different divisions at the company, the job expanding responsibilities until his retirement in 2013.

His knowledge, experience, wisdom and steadfast love for God, have added great value and blessing to LWF over the years. It is a joy and privilege to have Larry serve our fellowship on the church council.
