Meet the Upward Enterprises Staff – Larry Riggs
Larry attended his Upward Enterprises (UEI) first ropes course in 1999 and was hooked on Maryland team building and Maryland corporate retreats. He immediately recognized the value of experiential education and began organizing groups for team building Maryland events several times a year. After a few years of hiring facilitators for his groups, he finally decided to go through the training himself and become a certified facilitator. Since becoming a UEI facilitator in 2004, Larry has logged nearly 5,000 hours working with groups on team building in Maryland, group dynamics, effective communication, leadership and more. Over the years, he 
has worked with organizations such as:
- Capital One
- Civilian Police International
- World Bank
- 1st BN, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment
- US Senate Pages
- Congressional Hispanic Caucus Interns
- Washington County Department of Social Services
- National Fish and Wildlife Services
- And many more
When Larry is not at the UEI challenge ropes course in Buckeystown, MD you can find him training realtors. He is an agent trainer for the Frederick County Association of Realtors teaching National Association of Realtors and State of Maryland code of ethics. Larry was the association president in 2007-2008.
UEI has one of the best ropes course Maryland has to offer. We encourage anyone interested in Maryland and Virginia team building and corporate retreats to contact us today.
