From the start, Larson has recognized that providing a safe and rewarding livelihood for co-workers will be repaid by years of loyal, dedicated service. Many of our people have been with us for more than 30 years—one for over 60 years. Through their longevity and loyalty, our people make a big difference in setting Larson apart. Here are a few we’d like you to meet…
Bill Larson
President/CFO/Partner
Along with his responsibilities as CFO of the company, Bill Larson also functions as a Customer Service Account Manager, coordinating production for and maintaining the lines of communication with several specific customers. He officially started work in 1988, but being a fourth-generation Larson in the business, it’s safe to say that Bill became involved at an early age. Outside of work, he is very active in the Rotary Club, and enjoys a round of golf when he can.
