Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies.
Larry’s upbeat, creative approach to business has been featured in news articles from

major television network, and he has made multiple appearances on CNBC’s The Big
Idea with Donny Deutsch.
This summer Larry will be launching ToolsForSuccess.com, a high-octane, on-line, entrepreneurial
mentoring and coaching program for the entrepreneur who aspires to create
significant lasting legacies with their family, businesses and community.
