Hi, I'm Marv.

I joined Larson Gross in 1983 and previously served as Larson Gross’s Partner, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and today I’m honored to have semi-retired and support Larson Gross with special wealth management projects involving 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 also had the privilege of working with businesses on tax planning, ownership transitions, strategic planning, and management facilitation. My client base spanned 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.
