In 1986 was hired by John Romita for an on-staff position as a "Romita Raider" . According to Larosa "This is where I cut my teeth in the business, learning everything their was to learn. I started to do freelance work, as well as backgrounds for Keith Williams. In 1987 I became too busy w/my freelance work, and decided to leave the on staff position at Marvel."
