Outgoing and kind, Larry is always looking for ways to improve himself. With the right family by his side, there’s nothing the teen won’t be able to accomplish.

The 13-year-old sports fan recently started playing tackle football. Not only did he fall further in love with the sport, but his talents and perseverance helped his team reach the state championship game. Larry is so proud of himself and hopes to help the team have the same success in upcoming seasons. Although Larry already stands over 6 feet tall, he says basketball is not where his passion lies – much to the surprise of people he meets.

Larry wants to find an active family that will challenge him mentally and help him pursue his athleticism. Larry is a great student at school and hopes to put his natural math talents to good use as an engineer. He hopes to find a family that likes to spend time together and is always open for family dinners at Taco Bell or Panda Express.

Larry has a great sense of humor, so it’s no surprise he would like his future family to know, “I’m very nice and very tall.”
