My Story,

My name is Larz. I had my first business card when I was 10 years old and I’m currently on my 8th. I am a serial builder, marketer, and organizer. It’s a way of life.

In 2018, I spoke out about my struggle with depression on social media, sharing my #HalfTheStory. That instagram post sparked a global conversation about the relationship between technology and emotional wellbeing.

I have a vision for a future where kids learn how to develop healthy relationships with technology.

(2016) After my battle with depression and struggle with social media addiction, I started a campaign out of my college dorm with $250 and a mission to help create more meaningful connections through social storytelling— #HalfTheStory.

(2020) #HalfTheStory has received over 30,000 stories from 99 countries around the world, produced a film, play, becoming a leading youth 501(c)3 and launched The Global Day of Unplugging.

#HalfTheStory is a youth-led organization empowering the next generation’s relationship with technology. Welcome to tech-life harmony.
