Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
Jaylon Calhoun spent his formative years in California's Bay area. After graduation from high school, he chose a career path in Information Technology as a computer technician to participate in the success of Silicon Valley, which was an up-and-coming area at the time. From 2010-2013, Calhoun was a proud member of the United States Armed Forces serving in the Army. Eventually, he returned to the technology industry, this time in San Francisco. It was at this time that he felt a calling and decided after a lot of soul searching, to become a minister. That same year he relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada to become the CEO of the award-nominated Anointed Radio Network LLC. He earned the title of "Pastor" in 2015 and has been nominated for two awards of distinction for public speaking. He is currently seeking to be a catalyst for positive change in Nevada's District 3 as he runs for the Republican Party to represent the diverse needs of this burgeoning area.
