Since 1999, Larry has guided thousands of seniors through the Reverse Mortgage (HECM) process, offering clear, reliable advice that supports financial security, retirement income planning, and long-term peace of mind. Licensed in 23 states he provides coast-to-coast support for retirees exploring reverse mortgage solutions.

As a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and former board member of the Financial Planning Association of Illinois, he blends advanced technical knowledge with compassionate, client-focused guidance that helps older adults make confident decisions about their retirement strategy.

Larry is also dedicated to senior advocacy.

To help seniors and their families learn more about reverse mortgage options, Larry created an online Reverse Mortgage Information Center—a comprehensive resource explaining how FHA-insured HECM loans work for homeowners age 62+. The site covers how a reverse mortgage can improve monthly cash flow, reduce financial burdens, fund home renovations, or support a long-term retirement plan. Whether you are retired or preparing for the future, Larry offers the expertise and insight needed to determine if a reverse mortgage is the right solution for your financial goals.
