A strategic thinker, an operator, and a trusted advisor.

Larry currently serves as Interim CFO at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he was brought in to close a $10 million structural deficit and put the institution back on a path to financial sustainability. He works closely with senior leadership and the board to drive a multi-point operating plan spanning revenue enhancement, expense realignment, and disciplined budget scenario planning.

He stepped into the Muhlenberg role after a successful turnaround as Interim CFO at Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he closed a $20 million structural deficit that had threatened the liberal arts institution's long-term viability. Partnering with the interim president, his work there spanned streamlined financial aid, multiyear forecasts, cash flow optimization, balance sheet asset utilization, asset sales, and renegotiated contracts—stabilizing the college and positioning it for the future.

For eight years, Larry served as Senior Vice President of Administration & Treasurer at the Curtis Institute of Music, where all students attend tuition-free. His unique role combined the functions of COO, CFO, and chief of staff, overseeing finance, administration, HR, facilities, and IT while navigating a governance structure with over a dozen committees and a separately incorporated foundation.

Because Curtis has no tuition revenue stream, Larry worked hand-in-hand with the development team on major gift fundraising, helping secure $15 to $25 million annually. He helped develop proposals that directly led to over $50 million in special funding for campus modernization, performance hall and recording studio renovations, the rare instrument collection endowment, the elimination of student debt programs, and the alumni ensemble-in-residence program. He spearheaded strategic partnerships with the Sphinx Organization, WHYY, Opera Philadelphia, and Bauer & Dean, launched Curtis's first in-house IT department in 2017, and led the institution's COVID-19 preparedness and response teams through the pandemic.

Prior to Curtis, Larry served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer at DataArts (formerly the Cultural Data Project) from 2014 to 2016. He forged data collection partnerships with the League of American Orchestras, Dance USA, and Chorus America, and developed a survey instrument that became the gold standard for demographic data collection across the nonprofit sector. He was instrumental in raising over $10 million in startup funding and initiating plans for the eventual merger with SMU. DataArts now thrives in Dallas, where Larry remains on the advisory board.

Before DataArts, Larry was Director of Finance and Operations at OPERA America for over six years. He supervised all aspects of the $14.5 million National Opera Center capital campaign: financial modeling, fundraising, lease negotiation, facilities logistics, and contract negotiations. The successful effort created diversified revenue streams and several new positions.

Larry came to OPERA America from the New York Youth Symphony, where as operations manager and staff accountant for three years, he lowered performance venue costs and increased advertising revenues.
