Faculty Advisor
Larry Gertz
Over the past 35 years, Larry Gertz has led the design and production of museums, museum exhibits and shows, theme park attractions, film and video productions.
Larry creates a team environment in which all of the stakeholders participate in realizing the ultimate project vision. Larry began as an educator and has maintained his love of teaching.
This combined with 25 years creating high-level entertainment has proven to be a winning formula. He spent 20 years as a creative lead at Walt Disney Imagineering eventually becoming the creative executive for “Epcot” at Walt Disney World.
After leaving Disney, Larry established his own company and has produced projects as diverse as The Flying Heritage Collection in Seattle WA., The Science Fiction Museum in Seattle, and the Russian Jewish Museum in Moscow.
Larry is now teaching at the University of Southern California as an adjunct professor of Themed Entertainment Design.
