Biography


As a relationship manager, Larry has the expertise and flexibility to help clients address any situation in which they find themselves. But it may be his musical background that provides the real flexibility in his character and drives his creative insights. Larry started playing guitar at age nine and soon after he embarked on a musical career that has spanned just about every genre you can name. Larry began his career in financial services by taking finance classes at night. He has worked at a number of firms, including an eighteen-year stint with Charles Schwab, before finding his home at Cordasco Financial Network. When he’s not working, playing music, at the gym, or solving Sudoku puzzles, Larry spends time with his four children and seven grandkids.
