“We are extremely excited to add this team to our Newcleus advisor group,” said Daniel Barbaree, President & CEO of Newcleus. “Having worked with Larry and Jennifer previously, I know the level of professionalism and expertise they bring to the market.

With over 35 years of experience as an advisor of compensation and benefit planning, Larry has worked for major firms like Clark Consulting, BFS Group and Northwest Mutual Life Insurance Co. Larry received his securities license after graduating from Brigham Young University, earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He began his career in estate planning but broadened his expertise to become a specialist in business continuation, succession planning, risk management and executive and employee benefits planning with expertise in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI).
As one of the first entrants into the market of insurance products specifically designed for financial institutions, Larry has developed an expertise in educating executives and board members on product and benefit plan design to empower them to make decisions that are most beneficial for their organizations.
“I am extremely excited to work with a professional team at Newcleus to help banks improve their bottom line and retain and reward their best people,” he said.
