Larry is a mechanic and handiman having rebuilt and maintained all types of engines and has single handedly built two homes from scratch.

Larry worked for the Ontario Provincal Police, First Nations Branch as a constable, member of the York Regional Police dive team and as a police instructor. He is an Ice Rescue, ATV and Snowmobile instructor and Search and Rescue Scene Commander. He has taught courses to all levels of Emergency Response personnel including The Ontario Provincial Police, Parks Canada and many fire departments.

As the lead SAR contact for his region, Larry started driving and maintaining airboats in 1989 for medical evacuations from an island community in winter and for Search and Rescue for the local fire department. He has since accumulated over 8000 hours driving airboats. In 2007, Larry led Arctic Kingdom's historic deployment of the world's first airboats into the high arctic and was the first person to drive an airboat in the Northwest Passage. Believed to be the world's first and only expeditions by Air Boat, Arctic Kingdom took two airboats more than 180 kilometres (115 miles) over all types of frozen sea ice, pack ice and thin ice to a base camp on Lancaster Sound. Daily sorties explored the region to better understand whale migratory paths and concentrations during an important time of the year that is otherwise inaccessible.

Over two months, two airboats racked up over 250 hours of exploratory time navigating the most challenging arctic ice conditions around the Northwest Passage.

In addition to public safety diving, Larry has extensive commercial and recreational dive experience. As a police diver, Larry is trained in surface supply, hard hat, full face mask and ice diving.

He is a commercial diving supervisor for limited and unlimited scuba, limited surface supply, as a panel operator and as a Life Support System Service Technician to maintain fill equipment. Also an accomplished recreational diver, Larry is an IANTD diving instructor and is an experienced rebreather and trimix diver.
