For more than four decades, Larry has worked alongside business owners to help them protect, grow, and ultimately transition the enterprises they’ve built. His experience spans every stage of ownership—from early growth and maturity to exit and legacy planning. Through Dietz NextStage Exit Partners, he has refined a process that helps entrepreneurs clarify priorities, design tax-efficient strategies, and create continuity between business success and personal wealth.

His work reflects a lifelong commitment to helping families and businesses succeed generation to generation—a guiding principle that continues to shape DNEP’s mission today.
