Larry is the Managing Principal and a founder of The Stone House Group (SHG), a firm providing facilities, operations, and finance guidance to institutions worldwide. SHG facilitates responsible planning and management of energy, natural, and financial resources through energy management, facilities and project management, building commissioning, and sustainability consulting services.
Since SHG’s founding, Larry has enjoyed fostering ongoing client relationships. At Swarthmore College, he has guided College stakeholders in crafting an Energy Strategy for Sustainability and Resiliency that will allow the College to reduce its carbon footprint while becoming more resilient to future power grid outages. His involvement at Holton-Arms School began with the development of an interim and turnaround management team, and SHG continues to provide technical support for project management, retro-commissioning, and operations guidance at the School.
In the Washington, DC area, Larry has been instrumental in developing SHG’s presence. Through his ties to the area dating back to childhood and the creation of an SHG regional office, the firm has added more than fifteen clients in under two years, bringing its DC area total to more than thirty. Clients in the Washington, DC, and Maryland areas include National Presbyterian Church and School, Holton-Arms School, Landon School, The Lab School, Indian Creek School, Georgetown University, and American University.
Committed to sustainability within his communities, Larry serves on several volunteer committees. In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where SHG is headquartered, he is a steering committee member of South Bethlehem’s Community Benefit District initiative. He currently sits on the Saucon Valley Conservancy Advisory Committee and serves as a Board Trustee and Treasurer for Moravian Academy. He has previously served on the Vestry of the Cathedral Church of the Nativity and as Chairman of the Board of the Green Schools Alliance.
The historic South Bethlehem building that is home to SHG’s headquarters was renovated under Larry’s oversight and is pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification in several spaces. Through the installation of energy-efficient equipment and retrofits, the building’s carbon footprint has fallen 75 percent even as occupancy has increased 60 percent.
Larry graduated from Middlebury College with a Bachelor of Arts. He also did graduate work at Carnegie Mellon University and Harvard University and most recently received a certificate from Harvard University’s Executive Education for Sustainability Conference in November 2016.
Larry is a frequent presenter at national conferences on facilities and building stewardship. He has presented at NBOA, EACUBO, NAIS, NFMT, NAES, AASHE and TABS.
