Larry Witherspoon Jr. is a Co-Founder and the Executive Director of Jumpstart Automotive. Larry has held multiple leadership positions in the U. S. Navy and with Frito-Lay, a Fortune 100 company. He also has 5+ years of sales experience with Cintas, a Fortune 500 company.

     In addition to his business experience, Larry grew up watching his father mentor young people. His father was a high-school teacher, coached multiple sports, and worked part-time at a juvenile detention facility. Larry grew up understanding the difficulties all young people face becoming adults especially those that come from challenging circumstances. Jumpstart is a place where both of his passions can thrive. He has taken those experiences growing up and combined them with his passion for vehicles to start the Jumpstart Automotive Training Center.
