Chairman Emeritus and Founder
Larry was one of the founders of LAMA in 1984, and its first Executive

that helped create ultralights, and later, the new planned rule for
light sport aircraft. His career spans work in communications, propulsion,
and project management. He has a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree in
Engineering, Business, and Quality Assurance, and has done graduate
work at several east and west coast universities.
He is a California State registered professional engineer in three disciplines.
He has designed and built three light airplanes, and is listed in Jane's
