At a young age, Larry played a lot of hockey, and continued to do so throughout high school. After matriculating, he continued to play hockey for his college team. Afterwards, he would venture into the food business, slowly improving it. He started importing food, expanding his business and increasing his net worth.
Eventually, his family earned popularity with his wife’s gift of speaking to spirits. Soon, they were contacted by TLC for a reality television show which would eventually be called “Long Island Medium”. The show started in 2011 and features mostly Theresa and her family in Hicksville, New York. The show also travels to various cities and states, showing travel encounters. During these episodes she does surprise readings for people she meets while on the road.
The show has drawn a lot of controversy mainly due to critics believing that the show is merely fictitious. Some of the well-known critics of the show include James Randy, the publication “Wired”, and the news program “Inside Edition”. TLC has also drawn flak for allegedly using false means to earn money. Despite this, the show has had a lot of success and has expanded to include several books as well as a jewelry line. These other opportunities have dramatically improved Larry’s net worth.
Not all feedback from the show has been negative, getting positive reviews from publications including “Variety”. However, reports have surfaced that the family sometimes strains their relationship due to Theresa’s claims. Other reports also state that the show’s researchers do a lot of online research, and Theresa applies a lot of cold reading to make it feel like her abilities are legitimate.
Aside from the show, Larry has ventured into several businesses. These include tattooing and a designer clothing line. He’s also reported to have started a business through which the ashes of deceased loved ones can be turned into artwork through the ashes being colored.
For his personal life, it is known that Larry has been married to Theresa since 1990 and they have two children. He is very fond of animals and has several pets. He also has tattoos on his body of animals including a dove and an eagle. In 2001, Larry was diagnosed with Acoustic Neuroma and the operation resulted in hearing loss in one ear as well as temporary paralysis. He is also a big fan of the New York Rangers.
