Larry was a member of First Baptist Church in Worthington, Indiana. Larry spent his teen years and adult life in Arkansas. He graduated from McClellan High School in 1970. After High School he attended university at Arkansas State Teachers College in Conway where he received his degree in History, making teaching his career for the next 25 years.
During these early years he also managed Willow Springs Pool and Roller Rink in Little Rock, later purchasing his first Roller Rink in Little Rock. In 1984 he moved to Conway where he continued teaching until 1999.
