At some point in time you, as a brewery owner, realize that whether it’s a few years or 10+ years away, you won’t be involved in the business forever.

Every day you think about how to set up your business for a successful exit that’s good for all stakeholders – employees, customers, other investors, and you.

One day you discover open-book management and its potential to grow your people and your business at the same time.

Because of that you begin implementing what is really a people operating system where your employees think, act, and feel like owners.

Because of that your business develops an ownership culture with increased trust and high employee engagement along with the positive financial impacts of consistent performance and profit growth.

Until finally your brewery is a business of business people and you can feel confident exiting when the time is right for you.

When companies want an ownership culture that includes trust and engagement along with positive financial impact, Larry helps them make it happen. He coaches them in building an Open-Book Management system. In reality, it’s a people operating system that leads to growth for both individuals and the business.

Prior to being a Great Game of Business Certified Coach®, Larry was a professional brewer for 23 years. He’s been a frequent speaker at the Craft Brewers Conference including a panel discussion of brewpubs using open-book management. He served on the Brewers Association Board of Directors from 2013-2021. During 6 of those years he was the Board Treasurer and chair of the BA Finance Committee. Beyond beer and business coaching you'll find him vying for ""Dog Dad of the Year"" and filling Chief Support Officer duties for his wife's professional speaking business.
