He has published 60 articles in peer-reviewed journals, as well as a novel called “Almost Dysfunctional.” Larry worked at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and ACTION, the agency which formerly administered Peace Corps and VISTA. Larry and his wife also owned and managed a country inn in New Hampshire, where on occasion he performed rock and roll as part of his band “Leapin’ Larry and the Homewreckers.”
His primary research interests are higher education administration, problems facing emerging democracies, and organization development.
