Larry is MDOT's Chief Operations Officer, overseeing its 7 regions, the Bureau of Delivery, Bureau of Development, Office of Research and Best Practices, Safety and Security Administration, and Office of Operations Administrative Services.
He began his career with MDOT in 1970 as an engineer in training and held various positions in traffic engineering, public transportation, as well as railroad coordination during his first 24 years with the department in Lansing. In 1994, Larry was appointed as Bay Region Engineer. Shortly after taking this position, he played a major role in the development of 26 Transportation Service Centers.
