Chief Executive Officer
Owner and President of Allied Powder Coating, Larry Dean, prides himself on being a native Houstonian. An entrepreneur early on, Larry began his first business, an apartment dweller relocation service, while attending Bellaire High School. He also worked summers doing repairs and service calls at a full service gas station.
Larry's high school athletic skills lead to a track and football scholarship at the University of Montana where he was selected as an All Conference wide receiver. He received his bachelor's degree in business with a minor in psychology. After college graduation, Larry played professional football in Canada for one season and then semi-pro football for the Houston Hunters.
At the end of his sports career, Larry began Dean-Chem Co., a plating and coating business in 1978 and two years later founded Allied Powder Coating. Allied's first facility encompassed 2000 sq ft and had 3 employees. With the company goal "Quality work at a fair price, delivered on time!" at the forefront, Allied has grown to a 77,000 sq ft facility with 60 employees. As one of the founding fathers of the powder coating business, Larry has participated in the development of specifications for many high profile projects including Reliant Stadium, the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA, and the Houston Metro Light Rail system.
