Larry counts it a privilege to work with highly motivated young people who want to serve in a variety of language development roles around the world. His interest in linguistics was sparked while studying biology. He found the two fields very similar in terms of their examination of form or structure and the functions of those structures. Larry had some proficiency in French and learned a tiny bit of Japanese (most favorite food items!) while growing up and has been exposed to a number of languages over the years while software consulting with SIL International and in Field Methods classes. In his travels, Larry has lived in Belgium, Cameroon, Texas, Oregon, Alberta and British Columbia.<\/p>\n
Larry loves working with dictionaries (a field called lexicography), discovering unique aspects of each language as people try to fit the data into a variety of linguistic databases. Both Larry and his wife Kim love to spend time with students outside of the classroom, whether over a meal or in a game of ultimate frisbee. Larry has an IT background and has been involved in the development of a number of linguistic software applications. Larry says, \u201cWhether serving overseas, in software development or in training, I find that God continues to accompany and direct me and my family on a journey towards deeper love and greater freedom through Him.\u201d<\/p>\n
