Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born and raised in Northern California. I attended college in Louisiana and Texas. I’ve worked across multiple industries — from entrepreneurship and event sales to finance, travel, and technology.

My early hustle in Venice Beach, my first experiences learning the rhythm of Las Vegas, and my sales work in New York City each shaped my approach to communication, resilience, and leadership and helped me build a VIP experience service and later expand into travel. When my father’s health declined ahead of COVID, I returned home to protect and support my family until he recovered. I eventually returned to Las Vegas, where I pivoted into blockchain development. Las Vegas is the community that shaped my purpose and the place I am committed to serving.

Protect the People — Not the Powerful.

Clark County residents deserve economic protection, community protection, and protection from predatory systems. My mission is to restore fairness and ensure government serves the people first — not casinos, corporations, or political insiders.Restore Balance to East Clark County.

For too long, our neighborhoods have been ignored while the Strip thrives. I will fight for infrastructure, education, healthcare access, and real investment in the Eastside — delivering results where others have delivered excuses.Build a Stronger, Fairer Local Economy.

Nevada’s workers, small businesses, and families should benefit from the economic engine they help power. My policies ensure mutual benefit between residents, unions, investors, and casinos — strengthening our economy without raising taxes on Nevadans.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about public policy that protects working families, restores fairness, and strengthens East Clark County. My focus is on economic accountability, strong labor rights, and firm public safety measures that confront fentanyl and exploitation. I support transforming unused buildings into rehabilitation and workforce training centers, rebuilding Nevada’s education system, expanding healthcare access, and investing in long‑overdue Eastside infrastructure. My goal is simple: protect the people and strengthen our economy.
