Hi, I'm Marv.

I joined Larson Gross in 1983 and have been a partner of the firm since 1994. I’ve previously served as Larson Gross’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and today I’m honored to serve on the firm’s Governance Committee.

As the firm’s champion for wealth management, I work closely with individuals and multi-generational family groups to help them develop strategies for long-term success. My focus includes estate planning, retirement planning, and comprehensive wealth strategies tailored to each client’s unique goals.

Throughout my career, I’ve also had the privilege of working with businesses on tax planning, ownership transitions, strategic planning, and management facilitation. My client base spans a variety of industries, including agriculture and construction.

I’m passionate about community involvement and have served in various organizations over the years. Currently, I serve as the Board Chair for Kidstown International, an organization that supports orphaned and neglected children by enhancing their quality of life and educational opportunities in a Christ-centered environment. I’m also a past board member of the Northwest Washington Fair and serve on the Interstate Committee of the Patterned Speed Horse Association.

My wife, Linda, and I have three grown children and five wonderful grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my horses, competing in barrel racing, and leading Cowboy Church—a group of horse enthusiasts who gather weekly for informal church services.
