Larry arrived at Modern Wealth in December 2024 via the acquisition of LFM Wealth Management in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As a financial advisor and investment manager, he enjoys working directly with new and existing clients.
When Larry was approached about the opportunity for LFM to join Modern Wealth, he was intrigued about being able to bring more services to clients, including tax, insurance, and deeper life planning. Larry led the LFM office for five-plus years. He also served as the president and co-founder of TEAM Wealth Investments from 2003 to 2019.
Larry’s work experience includes a wealth of international management experience in Asia, Japan, and Europe, including mergers and acquisitions, acquisition integrations, business development, and sales at Cisco Systems, Ericsson, BET, Ltd., and ISS, Inc.
Larry and his wife, Pamela, have four children, Lizzie, Thom, Mike, and Grace, and two grandchildren, Margaret Eleanor and Rosie. They have adjusted well to being empty nesters with their dog, Lily. Larry enjoys traveling (he’s been to all seven continents, all 50 states, and over 60 countries), walking and hiking, reading, playing different golf courses, attending/watching college basketball games, and streaming shows on Netflix with Pamela.
Larry serves on the endowment committee at his church, the Board of Directors of the Carol Woods Retirement Community and County Hall Reinsurance. He’s also an Eagle Scout, helped start a Cub Scout Pack, and was an adult leader in a Boy Scout troop. Charitable causes that Larry supports include the Women’s Shelter in Columbia, South Carolina; Habitat for Humanity in Durham County, North Carolina; Forging Opportunities for Refugees in America in Chicago; and the Food Bank of North Carolina.
