Larry and Carol were married in 1978 and have combined their careers and life experiences to bring a unique blend to their writing. They are internationally experienced consultants and presenters in education and business.
Larry and Carol love to travel and have visited all seven continents and all fifty states, connecting with individuals worldwide and throughout the United States. They served as missionaries to Honduras, making numerous trips over six years. They also enjoy mentoring young adults, who they fondly identify as their “children.”
Throughout their careers, they have consistently collaborated as a team. They founded Prime Presentations, a seminar business that served teachers and administrators for over fifteen years. They co-authored and taught Success in School, a study skills curriculum for middle and high school students. Both have had articles published in professional journals and trade magazines.
Under Carol’s direction, twenty of her at-risk seventh graders wrote and published a 245-page mathematics textbook. “Pioneer Math: Written by Kids for Kids” was purchased by schools in Great Britain, Canada, Bermuda, and in over forty states in the United States.
When asked about their greatest honors, Larry shares that Carol was the recipient of Presidential Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics, which led to a meeting with President George H. W. Bush at the White House. And Carol proudly recounts Larry being named an All-American Softball player who pitched his team to third in the nation and served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam era.
They have combined Carol’s attention to detail and writing ability with Larry’s research, map drawing skills, and unique story ideas to bring you this first historical novel in the “In Search” series.
