Larry's background is solidly planted in the scientific and education worlds. He holds a Master of Science Degree in Education from the University of Southern California. His first career was in the military for 20 years; he is a retired USAF Major. His second career was teaching electronic communications for 27 years at a California community college. His current 'third career' is in the metaphysical and healing arts field. Larry continues his research and writing in Sacramento, California, and is the Director of the EastWest Institute for Self-Understanding, which he founded in 1980.
Ever since his near death experience (NDE) in 1988, a deeper understanding and healing of the body-mind-spirit has been his focus. His profound and blissful NDE personally validated his work with Past Life Regressions. Since 1975, he has guided over 2,000 people back to memories of present and past lives. He was a charter member in the Association for Past-Life Research and Therapy, and served on the Research Committee.
In 1982 he started a new interest in Hand Analysis. After graduating from the International Institute of Hand Analysis in 1985, he pioneered research into the use of Hand Analysis and hypnosis for personal growth. He has combined Hand Analysis with advanced hypnosis and biofeedback to help people make positive changes in their lives. The processes he developed encompass working with the body, mind and spirit simultaneously. Larry authored "It's All In Your Hands: Hand Analysis Guidebook to Self-Understanding" so anyone can learn to use Hand Analysis for personal growth and helping others. He also wrote, "Secrets of Hand Analysis". Both books were a success worldwide and all printed copies have sold out. Both books are now only available online in pdf file format.

More recently Larry's interests and studies are in the field of evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology. The application of evolutionary biology/psychology to research in body language and nonverbal cues is Larry's main focus. This site is a result of those studies.
