Larry has been building computer programs since 1983 while he was still in college. He began programming systems for the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) while studying Electrical Engineering. He discovered an aptitude of listening to users, userstanding their requests, and then making the computers do what they wanted. He has been doing this ever since.

Over the years Larry has worked with more than 125 companies designing and implementing enterprise solutions. These companies range in size from multimillion dollar operations to Fortune 500 companies. The size of the company is not important. What is important is implementing the best solution with the technology that meets the requirements. Please listen to the audio clip when Larry discusses how technology decisions are made.

Larry began working with Client/Server technology in approximately 1993 when he started working with PowerBuilder 2. At this point he had already been building applications for nearly 10 years. PowerBuilder became his development tool of choice for years and he is still using it at many clients in 2009. In 2006 Larry nearly stopped using PowerBuilder until he worked with the Sybase Engineering team on the Web DataWindow technology. This was a truly amazing feature of PowerBuilder that allowed existing applications to quickly be moved to Web applications as HTML and JavaScript. Larry spent years touring the country speaking at user conferences, training many companies, and writing books and for publications. During this time he also wrote many lines of Java code and gained much knowledge of the Java language.

Larry closely watched the evolution of Microsoft's .NET technology and waited until he felt the time appropriate to begin using this technology. While .NET is a very large toolset and one person cannot truly program in all its facets, he has chosen to use ASP .NET with both VB and C# as the programming languages. Silverlight is a tremendous technology that Larry believes is the future of business applications and he is spending as many hours as is possibly creating applications and learning the inner workings of it.
