Let's delve into the remarkable impact of Dr. Larson's work!
TheFoundationofaLifelongJourney
Dr.RichardC.Larson'sstorybeginsinBayside,Queens, wherehewasbornbeforemovingtoPennsylvaniaatthe ageoffive.Hisfamilysettledinasmalltownnearthe SusquehannaRiver,providinghimwithaunique combinationoffreedomandresponsibilityfromanearly age.Dr.Larson'sparentsgavehimasenseofautonomy, trustinghimtomakedecisionsabouthisown life—somethingthatwouldshapehisindependentand libertarianmindset.
Whenitcametimetoenterkindergarten,hisparentsasked himwhetherhewantedtoattend.Ratherthanmakingthe decisionforhim,theyallowedhimtothinkitoverand cometoaconclusion.Dr.Larsondecidedtotakeanextra yearofchildhoodandavoidschoolforalittlewhilelonger Thisearlydecisionexemplifiedthetrusthisparentshadin him,atrustthatcontinuedthroughouthisupbringing.From exploringthewoodsnearhishometolearningtonavigate life'schallenges,hehadthefreedomtogrowathisown pace.
I've always been passionate about sharing what I know
Inhislateryears,thefamilymovedtoNorthPlainfield, NewJersey,andthentoNeedham,Massachusetts,near Boston.ItwasinNeedhamwhereDr.Larsongraduated highschool,furthershapinghissenseofcuriosityand independence.HeattendedtheprestigiousMassachusetts InstituteofTechnology(MIT),aplacethatwouldplaya crucialroleinhisdevelopmentasbothastudentanda professor.

HistimeattheInstituteforDefenseAnalysesinArlington, Virginia,furthersolidifiedhisbeliefinappliedresearch.As theyoungestmemberoftheScienceandTechnologyTask Force,Dr.Larsongotatasteofpublicspeakingandthe impactthatresearchcanhaveoutsidetheconfinesof academia.Theexperienceconvincedhimthathecould combineteachingwithconsulting,wherehecouldboth educateanddirectlyaffectchange.
Soon,Dr.Larsonco-foundedPublicSystemsEvaluation (PSE),anonprofitconsultingfirmdedicatedtosolving complexpublicsectorproblems.Hisfirmlaterevolvedinto thefor-profitQueues-ENFORTH-Development(QED), wherehisfocusonoperationsresearchandurbanservice systemsbegantoflourish.
My wife was the one who pushed me to explore new passions.

Sadly,shepassedawaytwoyearsago,leavingaholein bothhispersonalandprofessionallife.Despitethisloss,he continuestohonorhermemorythroughhiswork,keeping herlegacyalivebycontinuingtheirsharedcommitmentto educationandresearch.
Dr.Larson's"appetiteforbusiness"isnotaboutchasing profits,butaboutcreatinganimpactthroughpractical solutions.Hebelievesthatbusiness,initsmostmeaningful form,isanextensionofacademicwork.Hisconsulting firms—PSE,ENFORTH,andQED—havealwaysbeen vehiclesforimplementingtheresearchheconductedat MITandapplyingittoreal-worldscenarios."Thebusiness sideofthingsallowedmyresearchtogobeyondtheory,"he explains."Withouttheseventures,myworkwouldhave remainedconfinedtotheclassroom.Withthem,Icouldsee theresultsofmyeffortsinaction."

I've always been motivated by the idea that research doesn't exist in a vacuum. It needs to make a difference in people's lives.

I wake up every morning and look up at the sky, and I say, 'thank you.'
TheCOVID-19pandemicpresentedchallengesformany, butforDr.Larson,itturnedouttobeanunexpected opportunity.Duringtheearlydaysofthelockdown,he decidedtotakeastepbackandreevaluatehisnext intellectualpursuit.Hiswife'sencouragementledhimto focusonwritingabookabout"ModelThinking,"aconcept thathadbeenbrewinginhismindforsometime.
