MEET OUR PRESIDENT/CEO

“I grew up in a small town called Terre Haute, IN and attended Indiana State University (aka Larry Bird University). Looking to expand my life experience, I moved to the “big city” of Indianapolis, and started a career in the indoor tanning industry. After spending 2 years in Indy, I got an opportunity to move to Los Angeles, CA. I now spend my time between LA and San Francisco.
I started my recruiting career in 1999, during the DotCom Boom. I focus on Software and Hardware Engineering. If you have either a CS or EE Degree, I can potentially help take your career to the next level. We primarily work with small to medium sized start-ups, but we do have some larger / public company clients as well.
If you are actively or even passively looking at new opportunities, let’s talk.”
– Jerald Baker

Lawrence was born and raised in Boston, MA, one of the oldest and greatest cities in US. From an early age, his curiosity for discovering how things work landed him the nickname “The Tape Man” by his parents. Who often didn’t appreciate his methods of taking things apart, and duct taping them back together. His technical savvy later led him to pursue a degree in Civil Engineering from Tufts University. However, after graduating and holding roles in both structural engineering and management, it was his passion for technology that steered him to make a career change, and head to CA to learn full-stack web development, with hopes of jumping into the action of the booming technology industry. Leaving behind the cold, snowy winters of the East Coast was a big plus as well. After gaining his coding chops, Lawrence became the CTO of an early-stage start-up, where he sharpened both his technical and leadership skills. He also learned the hustle and grind the job required. He found that developing strong relationships with investors, customers, his knack for sourcing great talent were key strengths, and that led him to his current role as a Technical Recruiter with MoTek Technologies. He prides himself on his ability to connect, and build a rapport with both the top talent in the industry, and the companies that are looking for that talent. If you are no longer feeling challenged, or think you have hit a glass ceiling in your current role, Lawrence is here to help you find your dream job. And on the flipside, if you are looking to hire the best and the brightest for your company, give Lawrence a call!
