Creative Comrades is a monthly meet up for all entrepreneurs and creative professionals in Lake Havasu.
July’s meet up is a discussion with three writers who have diverse backgrounds, each currently working on various creative projects. Through their lenses, we’ll dive into the world of crafting narratives, new content, and storytelling for your audience. Our panelists are extremely talented!

Tonya composes narratives for businesses and start-ups through Partnership for Economic Development, Jill creates content on social media and blogs for RiverScene and the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Larry (former personal stuntman!) wrote an action movie (“Hot Water”) that goes into production this September, which he’ll also direct and produce.

Larry Rippenkroeger
was one of the original stars in the jet ski world. He is a four-time World Champion that innovated many of the freestyle tricks still used in competition today.

Upon retiring from competition, Larry’s professionalism and expertise in the watercraft industry lead to a coveted role as the color commentator for ESPN’s weekly pro tour broadcasts. As his experience grew, Larry went on to produce and direct numerous segments for ESPN and Sports-I (ESPN Japan).

In 1994 Larry began to fulfill his second childhood dream with an opportunity to work as a stuntman on his first feature film, Waterworld. From there, Larry worked his way up in the stunt industry to become one of its top performers having worked on over 100 feature films to date. He also became the personal stunt double for stars like Bruce Willis, as well as Bryan Cranston on the famous series Breaking Bad.

Now Larry is starting the next chapter in his life, writing, producing and directing. His directorial debut is a movie he wrote called Hot Water which goes into production in September.
