Get to know the veteran and small-town mayor impacting communities like yours.
Larry is a born and raised Hispanic & African-American Texan, who was adopted at birth and grew up in a split-household. His upbringing was heavily influenced by his family of community leaders (ministry, healthcare, education, military, etc.) and their commitment to service and family.
Prior to enlisting in the military, Larry attempted college and worked in various blue-collar jobs like many in our communities. Upon retiring from the military and struggling like many with his post military identity, he worked (unpaid) for 10-months with the University of Texas System (UTS) Administration before receiving a contract as Director of Veteran Support & Leadership Programs.
Upon the disbandment of the UTS Veterans Department, Larry took a pay-cut to work at Huston—Tillotson University (HTU) in support of launching their Masters of Business Administration. While at HTU, he served as an Assistant Professor of Management and tasked with military recruitment and MBA Lead.
Shorty after COVID-19 entered America, Larry opted out of renewing his HTU contract to give full attention and support to the City of Manor and surrounding region in acknowledgement of his obligation as Mayor. Although military retired, Larry frequently consults with various organizations to help further enhance and empower needed impacts within our surrounding communities.
Larry is married to a middle school teacher and has three kids in public school.
