Hi Larry!
|
Do you have any children or pets living with you?
Standard 7yr old Poodles! “Ozzie” - a Poodle (not like any other poodle!!!) and his partner in crime and brother “Henry”. Sara, at All About Dogs grooming connected me with these incredible Rescues! Favorite spot for people watching or to meet neighbors?
Has to be Schiller Park! Outside the front door! I’m there most mornings with a walk or bike ride starter. No way to get around without a spirited Hello or fun conversation! Where were you born and raised?
Cleves and North Bend Oh on the West side of Cincinnati! Lived on the homestead of President William Henry Harrison and the birthplace of President Benjamin Harrison. Favorite German Village event?
Village Lights starting at Schiller and winding throughout the Village! 10,000 lights, Village Singers and the Holiday festivites at the Society and shops and restaurants. And the Art Crawl and the Pre Tour Party are social highlights! What have you found to be the best part of living in the Village?
I love the people!- the inclusiveness, the diversity and the community spirit! And the Historic Village with wonderful surprises around every corner!

Your occupation?
For over 40 years conducting, first furniture, and later commercial real estate activities associated with Continental Companies: Real Estate, Development, and Leasing, and most recently Newmark Knight Frank. What hobbies and/or volunteer activities do you enjoy in your free time?
Everyone who knows me knows that I’m a die-hard sports fan attending lots of sports events all over Ohio and many road games! Always with fun friends! Most all Jackets home games! Buckeyes football and men’s and women’s basketball! Reds, Indians, Bengals Browns! Most years I travel to Paris plus another jumping off spot somewhere in the world, Short trips to Florida in the winter and Nantucket at summer’s end! I’m also active on a daily basis working with men in recovery from challenges with drugs and alcohol and helping them to assimilate into the workplace, family, and community for better living! Other ways you spend your time?
With my office located next door to the Athletic Club of Columbus- I’m there every day for workouts and lunch with lots of fun people! Starting out most days with a 6am spin class and weight room workout I’m back for lunch and sometimes a late day yoga or mat pilates stretch! Most recently I became certified as a Mat Pilates instructor for a Sunday morning class each week! The ACC has said that we will Zoom classes in June! So there’s always a new twist around every corner! And try to find time for good weather biking and golf! |
Any other Village “favorites?”
A special Tradition of the Jaeger St residents across from Schiller has been the Halloween Night Beggars night! I moved in in October 2003 and was not prepared for what happened. Rain or shine somewhere between 1000 and 1500 little ghosts, gremlins, princesses, super heroes come wide eyed to the “Haunted Houses with Giant, scary, animated props for the delighted and amazed kiddies! Some parents have said it’s some of their children’s best childhood memories!

How long have you lived in German Village? What attracted you to this neighborhood?
I always knew that I wanted to live on Schiller Park in German Village. Having lived in Bexley and later a residence on Goodale Park- the house I loved came available on Schiller and I purchased it in 2003! And I’m still there today!

Tell us about your house.
My Nantucket style house was one of the smallest on the street and ripe for an expansion! So during the last year and a half I doubled the size of the house with a full basement and a three car garage! I cleared out all the walls in the small first floor original spaces and have an exciting expanded open plan from front to back! There’s a new master bedroom and bath upstairs while retaining the original bedrooms!

I’m very blessed with two adult children- both married-who now have 5 young kiddies between them age 3 to 8; my basement is the Toy House and I carry a big toy bag for house visits! Life is very good!
