About the Program Director

Larry comes to Hero House with a background in many adventures in life.  He graduated from California State University in Fullerton, California with a BA in psychology. He got sober in 1988 and has embraced the 12 step program up to the present. In 2005 he purchased a beautiful second home and turned in into a sober living facility for men as another way of giving back to the AA community.  Two more homes followed and at one time he was assisting over 24 individuals in living a life of sobriety. He was asked in late 2007 to contribute a chapter to a book celebrating the glories of long term sobriety.  This book was published this year and is now available.  When asked about his college work, he notes that he has used his college education in every facet of his life from graduation to his current endeavors.  He is very excited about Hero House and is dedicated to its principles.
