Built and led Tony Robbins' seminar sales teams/division for six years. Recognized as the most requested speaker in Las Vegas since 2008.
Diagnosed with Amyloidosis (Rare blood disease - only 4,000 cases world-wide per year. 40% die within the first 12-months) in 2017. Went through chemo from 2017 -2019 and now on non-toxic maintenance drug. Feeling better than I've felt in 8 years.
I'm a leader, a fighter and I stand for the truth. I've fought through adversities in my life, from divorced parents in different states as a youth, to chemotherapy, to divorce as an adult... and yet my positive mindset and skills to succeed allow me to prosper through it all.
I'm excited to bring my commitment and passion to the state of Nevada.- I Stand for the Truth and NOT afraid to speak.... whether it's healthcare, taxes, policing, etc... I stand for the truth and the morals and values that make America great.
- I'm a fighter and a great communicator. I CAN and WILL work across the isle to make things better for Americans. I will not compromise my values, yet I posses the skills to get things done.
- No Distractions. I am focused on serving the people of Southern Nevada. My kids are grown, independent, responsible and living on their own. I don't have grandkids yet, and I'm single... so ALL I HAVE IS FOCUSED TIME to help my constituents.
2. Improving our Health Care. Dems passed SB 420, which creates a public option here in NV, which will do NOTHING to bring quality doctors to the state of NV... We need to unwind this bill, as it has a multi-year period of study prior to initiating the plan in a few years. We need to redirect this measure and protect our health care.
3. Providing More School Choice for NV parents. NV consistently ranks at the bottom of nearly all educational rankings...
I'm not afraid to tell the truth. I almost died in 2016/2017... so I'm not afraid of words, cancelation or whatever else comes my way.
Frankl was an Austrian Psychologist who was captured by the Nazi's and spent 3 years on concentration camps as a prisoner. He wrote about his experiences. VERY POWERFUL.
Essentially the message is: They can take EVERYTHING from you... but they can't take your ability to have hope and a winning attitude. The message was deep, yet this is the summary.
Personally, I'd like to run for Congress or Senate now, yet I know I need to learn the fundamentals and of the business and I need to build relationships and learn the landscape of NV Politics.
