Larry's Bio: I am the retired founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President of Rockwater Energy Solutions, Inc., now Select Energy Services, a public company. I am proud that during my tenure at Rockwater, we received several awards, including Top Workplaces Leadership Award for a Midsized Employer by the Houston Chronicle, E&Y’s Entrepreneur of the Year for the Texas Gulf Coast, the Maverick Executive Award by the University of Texas at Arlington, and Houston Chronicle Top Workplace Awards.
Prior to forming Rockwater, I spent over 10 years helping to lead the turnaround of Waste Management, Inc., a Fortune 200 company and the largest waste, recycling services, and renewable energy company in North America, where I served as President and COO. During my time at Waste Management, I was the first Undercover Boss. Prior to my time at Waste Management, I was a senior executive with Baker Hughes, the 3rd largest oil services firm in the world.
Today, I spend my time sharing what I have learned about successful leadership that I learned throughout my career with organizations, businesses and churches across the nation, as well as other countries. I speak regularly on leadership, coach and mentor leaders in business and churches, teach leadership for Deloitte Consulting, and lead Bible studies and church retreats. After I retired from my business career, I pursued and received my masters in Biblical and Theological Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary.
