Larry Aldrich President/CEO

With decades of experience in both public and private sectors, Larry began his career journey in the U.S. Air Force out of college. After completing his MBA in Marketing Management at the University of Pittsburgh, he relocated to Washington, D.C. to work in the defense industry. After years of success in the sector, Larry left it behind to found BrennSys Technology LLC. The firm quickly grew into a disabled Veteran-owned small business offering marketing communications that included the full gamut of marketing services – from digital marketing services and tools to technical innovation and new, upcoming marketing strategies and techniques. With BrennSys specializing in clients on the Federal and State level, in 2024 Larry purchased Aqua Marketing & Communications, combining the firms into a modern marketing powerhouse. As its President and CEO, Larry oversees all aspects of operation and drives the company toward new and innovative solutions for all its clients.
