About Larry
My Background
As a first-generation College graduate from Tulsa, Oklahoma I know firsthand the power of perseverance, faith, and determination in transforming lives and achieving dreams. Growing up in poverty, life was an uphill battle. The verbal and physical abuse I witnessed from my dad toward my mom added a layer of pain and instability to my already challenging circumstances.
There were times when I felt powerless, wondering why I had to endure such hardships. But in those dark moments, I began to find a strength I didn’t know I had. I realized that while I couldn’t control the circumstances I was born into, I could shape the future I wanted for myself.
Those early struggles became the foundation for my determination. They taught me resilience, empathy, and the value of perseverance. Instead of letting my past define me, I used it to fuel my drive to succeed, to be a source of hope for others, and to break the cycle for my own family.
Today, I stand as a testament to the fact that no matter how tough life gets, it’s possible to rise above it. I share my story not to dwell on the pain, but to inspire others who might feel trapped in their own struggles. With faith, determination, and a vision for something better, we can all overcome even the darkest of circumstances.
