Larry has dedicated his entire adult life to MID, a 35-year career in the electrical and water divisions and then 9 years on the Board. He has fought to stop all electrical rate increases and retired $300 million in MID debt, restoring MID as a low-cost power supplier. He has also led the fight against the state water grab.
Larry and Cheryl, his wife of 52 years, built a successful cattle-ranching and farming business. Three generations of his family currently work together in his farming operation.
Larry is a founding member of the Stanislaus Water Advisory Committee, and served on the Tuolumne River Tributaries Association, the Farm Service Agency, the California Cattlemen Association, and was a member of the Waterford Lions Club.
Larry and Cheryl have spent their entire lives in Stanislaus County. Larry’s grandparents moved their dairy to this County in the 1930’s due in large part to MID’s low electrical and water rates.
