Larry Sharpe, Host of The Sharpe Way Show

Larry Sharpe is a Husband, Father, Marine, Entrepreneur, Teacher and Political Activist. His mission is to help people find happiness through community and purpose, often by overcoming bad policy decisions in government. He is the Libertarian candidate for Governor of New York for the second time in a row. In 2018, he garnered about 100,000 votes and obtained automatic ballot access for the Libertarian Party for the first time in New York history. His ability to connect with voters from across the political spectrum made him a threat to the establishment politicians. So, Andrew Cuomo changed the rules and took ballot access away, despite the earned status. Larry Sharpe has been fighting the state for what was earned ever since, in the courts and on the streets.

Sharpe is also the host of the The Sharpe Way Show where he discusses everyday problems, solo and with guests.  

Born on July 12, 1968 in Manhattan, NY, Sharpe joined the US Marines Corps at 17, where he served from 1986-1993. This was the community and purpose that he needed, as an adopted child in a single-parent home. His experience in the Marines sharpened his skills as a leader, team player and strategic thinker and served as a launch pad for his career as a business builder and entrepreneur. 

As a teacher and professional development consultant, Sharpe empowered military veterans, students, C-Suite business executives, and others to develop their leadership skills. His experience in government, finance, law, technology, media and healthcare helped shape his policies as a political candidate.
