Larry holds an BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) and is a 1st degree black belt in Karate, which he and his son Josh earned concurrently. In his personal time, he loves the privilege of being a junior and senior football coach at the High School level, and at the OVFL (Ontario Varsity Football League) level. Larry, his wife Deb and their English-style golden retriever Todd, enjoy the tranquility of living in Sydenham, a Hamlet just north of Kingston, Ontario. Their three children Josh, Shannon and Claire regularly come home to visit for some R&R, and to rate new concoctions tested on the BBQ.
