Growing up with a father who was a Presbyterian chaplain in the Navy, Larry says his time at Florida Presbyterian (now Eckerd) College as an East Asian studies<\/a> major gave him a chance to explore different points of view on many issues of the day, particularly the war and social justice. Within the same year, he heard both anti-war politician George McGovern and conservative economist Milton Friedman speak in person on campus. While many of his classmates and friends joined protest marches against the war in Vietnam, Larry took a quieter approach, spending much of his time reading books by authors spanning the spectrum of political thought, including Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver, Marxist French Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, and \u201cFather of Capitalism\u201d Adam Smith.<\/p>\n

Although in the end conservative thinking won out, Larry says the time he spent as an undergraduate learning how to listen to opposing viewpoints set the foundation for his future career as a diplomat with the U.S. State Department<\/a>. He spent 30 years as a diplomat to various countries in Asia and West Africa after receiving a master\u2019s degree from the Fletcher School at Tufts University, known for its diplomacy program.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all”

border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]During a career spanning the post-Vietnam era, the oil crisis, trade crises, globalization and two wars in Iraq, Larry had numerous opportunities to find that common ground, moving to a new posting every two to three years. As an economics officer, he sought to influence global economic policy to meet U.S. goals. Economics is a passion he had discovered through a one-off class at FPC\/EC, where he says he appreciated the breadth of the liberal arts curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Larry credits his undergraduate experience with another formative part of his career: developing an affinity for Japan through studying abroad<\/a> there and living with a host family his junior year. He spent many years of his diplomatic career there, during which he was instrumental in negotiating the opening of Japan to big-box retailers such as Toys R Us. He also used his position to advocate for growth wherever possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur basic view was the view of every administration in the postwar period, which is that a more prosperous world is going to be better for America,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

During his diplomatic career, Larry also used his economics background to lead the Iraqi Economic Task Force, helping Iraq create a new economy after Saddam Hussein\u2019s fall. Additionally, he served as the U.S. ambassador to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), a regional economic forum made up of 21 member nations. In his role with APEC, he headed a leaders\u2019 meeting in Shanghai in 2001 that took place six weeks after September 11 and was then-President George W. Bush\u2019s first international trip post-attack.<\/p>\n

For everything Larry did in his government career, he says a cultural understanding and a willingness to leave any arrogance behind were essential tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiplomacy means finding common ground,\u201d he says, noting that no country wields enough power to dictate another country\u2019s policy. \u201cYou can\u2019t force them. You have to persuade them that what you are asking is in their interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

After retiring from the State Department in 2006, Larry went on to work as a vice president for the Asian Development Bank<\/a> in Manila, a multilateral development bank that lends money to Asian countries to finance infrastructure and other projects with the goal of eliminating poverty. In that role he oversaw $7 billion each year in lending to boost development in Asia. After that, he worked for MetLife Insurance<\/a> in Tokyo, leading government relations for Asia. More recently, until 2019, he headed the Japan Society of Northern California<\/a>, an organization that supports the U.S.-Japan relationship and provides a forum for people of Japanese background or who are interested in Japanese culture. Today, he does consulting work from his home in the San Francisco Bay area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”
