I am a proud veteran of the U.S Air Force. I moved to Las Vegas in 2016 for a temporary contract and my decision to make Summerlin my permanent home was easy! I attended grad school at UNLV where I definitely met awesome people and valuable lifelong mentors. Aside from the military, my mission in life is to help all people and to give back to our nation's veterans and first responders. My biggest satisfaction is to connect others with caring people and resources. I truly appreciate the laid back lifestyle that Summerlin has to offer which pairs well with the 24/7 pulse of Las Vegas. There are endless opportunities to meet great people in our area and to serve our community. I love the outdoors and dedicate most of my time to staying active with my family and to explore the world with our Dogo Argentino pups!
I grew up in a large family in the midwest before joining the military. I still don't miss the snow!
