About
Larry provides creative alternatives to help affluent individuals efficiently pursue financial success and live out the retirement they desire.
Since starting as an advisor in 1999, Larry’s practice has grown almost exclusively by referrals from loyal clients.
This type of growth is only possible because of the commitment Larry gives to his clients through their complete financial life cycle. From his very first meeting, his goal is to educate clients on the how they can best use their financial resources. Then, throughout the service relationship, he helps meet each person’s specific needs using a wide range of financial products and services.
Larry is also a founding partner of Midwest Wealth Advisors, an independent financial services firm in Elk River, Minn. At Midwest Wealth Advisors, Larry and his two co-founders are focused on helping hardworking people prepare, implement, and manage every phase of their pre- and post-retirement life.
Larry lives in Blaine, Minn., with his wife Becki and stepchildren. Outside of his work with clients, Larry also serves with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Feed My Starving Children, and he enjoys hockey, skiing, motorhome travel, pickleball, tennis, and reading.
