Larry Rife

Larry Rife's entire career has been wrapped around helping others to play. He spent the first ten years of his professional life working in the theatre, then transitioned into event planning where he specialized in helping communities plan their annual festivals. Somehow, this opened the door to his last eleven years of selling playgrounds to schools and communities across Iowa and Nebraska. He sees New Again Houses as an extension of his passion in "play." But now, he gets to help people set up that home base for play. A place where they can entertain friends, encourage neighbors, and raise a family. Larry's goal in life is to work hard, help others, love his family, and serve God (Not necessarily in that order). He enjoys working in creative environments. He loves meeting new people and seeing how he can help support them in their life and career.
