Larry Lozuk

Larry Lozuk is TSP’s IT director, responsible for determining the company’s overarching technology strategy and looking for the next technologies that he can integrate into the company to improve overall performance. He keeps abreast of trends in the technology space and works to translate trends into strategies that are likely to benefit TSP’s growth and innovation. Larry is known for his clever use of technology to improve business performance, and his ability to solve problems with the big picture in mind. Other directors and managers bring Larry ideas for improving the function and efficiency of their department, and Larry’s task is to balance those ideas with what is feasible for the company.

Larry heard about TSP through meeting co-founders Rick Skaggs and Frank Gonzalez, and was drawn to join the company to help it grow even further. He has held several positions at TSP prior to his current role as IT director, including roles in sales, operations, and internal management. Before TSP Larry was a program executive with Dell and worked on extremely large-scale projects. In fact, he replaced 150,000 PCs at Kaiser Permanente coast-to-coast (including Hawaii), and did so flawlessly, without any disruptions to business. He also served as a director at CBSI where he ran the CRM practice, and was a senior management consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Larry has extensive experience with systems integration, which helps him tremendously in his current role. This knowledge allows him to take a step back and determine the best fit for the situation. Larry grew up in Venezuela and came to Texas for college at Baylor University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, as well as a Masters of Business Administration. He has also obtained certification in ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library).

When he’s not working, Larry puts his IT knowledge to use in the community as well, volunteering with the AV group at his church to help with television and internet capabilities. He is also active with the International Mission Board and South Texas Children’s Home. An avid scuba diver (and certified instructor) and photographer, he has traveled extensively and internationally and enjoys collecting experiences. Most importantly, Larry puts family first and works hard to be a good father to his two children and a good husband to his wife of more than 30 years, Annette.
