Larry was born May 27, 1943, in DeRidder, LA. He was a graduate of DeRidder High School and received his bachelor’s degree in accounting from McNeese State University. He served his country in the U.S. Army from 1966-1968.  He lived in Houston, TX from 1968-1982, where he practiced accounting and owned several rental stores and multiple other businesses. While living there, he was very active in Irvington Pentecostal Church.  He moved to Moss Bluff, LA in 1982 to open his CPA practice and expand his rental store operations, opening Grand Rental and Party Plus.
