Since graduating with his MA in Applied Linguistics from California State University, Fresno, Larry has been working as an ESL teacher and teacher trainer throughout Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union (including occasional forays into the Caucuses and Central Asia). He taught English and ESL Methodology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar, Croatia, where he also spent time developing teaching materials and writing musical plays for young learners. Larry has recently returned to the US where he continues to work as ESL instructor and teacher trainer.

When he’s not in front of a group of students or teachers, you’ll probably find Larry staring at his computer screen or working out at the gym. This is fortunate because otherwise he’d spend many hours fattening himself up in the kitchen or annoying the neighbors with his guitar solos. He also enjoys traveling to strange and wonderful places.
