Larry founded Corinthian in 1974 as an alternative for the small
to mid-size advertiser who could not get the attention that they
deserved at large agencies.

is still to lead by example. He is a hands on manager that is very
involved in buying, strategy and client services.
Nationally acclaimed in the media business, Larry is also a noted

for children's causes through the Corinthian Foundation and many
other organizations. In 1991 his tireless efforts behind the scenes

wishes come true.
