Larry has presented his work at the International Association for Psychological Type, International Enneagram, National Career Development Association, state and local conferences.  He received the 2005 APTi National Merit Award.  Larry is a retired Mechanical Engineer from AT&T where he supervised engineering teams for most of his thirty years.  He received a B.S. and M.S. from Purdue University and an M.A.  from Regis University.  His M.A. project correlated the results of the MBTI® and an Enneagram inventory.  He continued this work as a Career Counselor and Trainer at Forty Plus of Colorado.  The frustration of professionals with a lack of focus in the top 50 occupations for an MBTI® type led Larry to develop Type Occupational Themes.
