Our History
The Gershen's have been developing and building in Florida for three generations. Larry’s father, Irwin was a General Contractor who built midrise buildings across Florida for over 30 years and helped develop and popularize flying form technology.
From the time Larry was a child, he was on jobsites. When he was old enough, he started working summers on his Dad’s buildings across Florida. After majoring in Construction Management at FIU, Larry founded LRG.
Like his father and grandfather, Larry’s son Brian was on jobsites from an early age and worked summers for LRG until he graduated from Florida State with a degree in Business Management. Larry and Brian both hold active State Certified General Contractor licenses, both are EPA Certified Renovators, Larry has Home Inspectors License, and Brian is a LEED AP specializing in Building Design and Construction.
Below are some pics of Irwin, Larry, and Brian from the last 60 years of us building throughout Florida and the Caribbean.
