| Collapse all
- Voting and Election Integrity Due to the changes in how we vote and the many accusations of fraud in the last election, there is a general mistrust in our voting protocols. This trust must be rebuilt. In order for this to happen, I believe there are a few components that must be in place.
- Business Advocate Helping our business community by assuring removal of unnecessary red tape and continuing communication with our chambers and other business entities is essential. Our small businesses are the life blood of our communities and we need to stand with them.
- Protector Against Securities Fraud This is a growing problem across our country and especially in the state of Nevada. I definitely want to catch and prosecute those who victimize others with scams and false business promises.
Health Board- While on the Health Board we serve our community setting policy for dust permitting, mosquito abatement, safe water and non-contamination. One of my focuses on the board has been air quality. It has been my responsibility to help sustain air quality attainment and in truth we are right on the border and need to focus on this. I am aware that the Southern region of our state has been out of attainment for years and it can bring harm to many areas of personal living and a high cost to business.
TMWA & WRWC – both boards serve our greater region as it pertains to water, water quality, water storage, conservation of our rivers and strategically thinking assuring that we are utilizing technology to reprocess and use our water wisely.
CHAB (Community Homelessness Advisory Board)- I personally helped form this board for our region where 2 elected officials from each municipality come together to give direction for our jurisdictions and are held accountable to our community. This board requires quite a balancing act of caring for the

Personal integrity- this is not something that can be taken but only given away
A commitment to America. Our country and its future is crucial that we stop fighting and work together.

We have been asked to protect the great seal of our state and that is exactly what I will do.
I hope the legacy for me is that I am a man who knew how to love, lead and equip others to be their best. This has been a life long journey for me and one I am still focused on. To see one of my legacy projects please visit our site NVMP.US. This is truly something for our state that is exciting and will touch many lives.
It teaches humility in leadership
• Voter Integrity and voter policy reform
• Business advocacy and helping to speed up all processes of entity maintenance and formation
This office gets to sit on the State Board of Prison Commissioners, the State Board of Examiners, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board, the State Records Committee, the State Advisory Committee on Participatory Democracy and the Executive Branch Audit Committee.
Without this in place we are playing a game of chance with an office that is too important.
My degree is in Organizational Leadership. I literally teach classes on Communication, Conflict Resolution, Business strategies and structure. My training, education, skill set and consistent character are what I bring to the table.
