Larry's Story
Since graduating from Lake Taylor, I have not moved around a lot. I spent 2 years at Chowan Junior College in Murfreesboro, NC and then moved south to Methodist College, now University, in Fayetteville, NC to finish up my bachelor's degree. At the time, my love wasn't the classroom, but baseball. I still tell folks that I went to college to play ball and by a miracle of the Almighty, ended up with a degree. Settling in Fayetteville after graduation, I spent my working career in parks and recreation.
Married Pam in 2002. We love the beach, especially Ocracoke Island on NC's Outer Banks. I enjoy golf, kayaking and surf fishing. We have four beautiful daughters, Rachel, Becky, Shannon and Brandy...and they have produced five grandsons; Isaiah, Connor, Cameron, Noah and Grayson.
I retired on January 1st, 2008 after spending 29 years, 10 as Director, with the Cumberland County (NC) Parks and Recreation and 3 and half ye...Expand for more
ars as the Planning and Development Manager for the consolidated Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation Department. In post-retirement, I served as Cumberland County's interim animal services director while the county searched for a permanent director...to put it mildly, it was a challenge, but rewarding.
In late 2009, Pam and I moved to the small coastal town of Swansboro (NC). We couldn't have selected a better place for our retirement years. We love the area and especially the people. I may have retired in 2009, but I have not been idle. In the fall of 2009, I was elected to the Swansboro Board of Commissioners and more recently, again in 2019. In between I have served on the town's parks and recreation advisory board, planning and zoning board and a number of committees. In addition to serving on the town's governing board, I'm serving as the treasurer for the Swansboro Historical Association. Life is good!
