About Me

Larry has enjoyed a career of more than 30 years in financial and operational management, including roles as a CFO and COO for companies in the manufacturing, retail and service industries.

Thanks to his extensive experience buying and selling companies in both the private and public sectors, as well as his time consulting in this arena, he’s able to connect on a personal level with clients looking to chart their own transitions. He is one of the few Certified Exit Planning Advisors® in the St. Louis region and is a member of the Exit Planning Institute, as well as the Business Enterprise Institute.
