With 20+ years in marketing and advertising, I’ve built a career leading high-impact strategies for some of the most recognized brands in hospitality, gaming, finance, and entertainment.

I started as a Graphic Production Artist at the Las Vegas Review-Journal before enlisting in the U.S. Army, where I served as a Veteran of Foreign War. After returning to Las Vegas, I spent four years with CMS, Inc., a casino gaming manufacturer, before embarking on a 15-year tenure with MGM Resorts International. There, I held key marketing leadership roles at Treasure Island, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, and Luxor, eventually serving as Corporate VP of Marketing Ops, overseeing 22 resorts nationwide. During my time at MGM, I launched national brand campaigns, opened Delano Las Vegas, managed multimillion-dollar marketing budgets, and led the implementation of MarTech innovations such as mobile check-in and digital key.

I then became CMO at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, leading the marketing strategy for the first licensed and fully integrated Virgin Hotels brand worldwide. I collaborated with Virgin Group to launch a nationwide advertising campaign introducing VHLV as the newest resort in Las Vegas.

Following that, I took on the role of CMO at Dollar Loan Center, leading partnerships, sponsorships, advertising, and FinTech strategy while supporting the expansion of brick-and-mortar locations. I later served as CMO at PrairieFire Nevada, overseeing marketing and branding for a premier 550-acre outdoor shooting destination inspired by Special Operations training.

Now, as President and Chief Marketing Officer at CBA Professional Marketing Services, I provide fractional CMO services, helping businesses define strategy, scale marketing teams, drive sales growth, and optimize customer conversion for maximum ROI.

I hold a BS in Marketing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. I’m the President of the Board of Trustees for Olive Crest Nevada, a graduate of the MGM Resorts International Executive Leadership Institute, an alumni member of the Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee, and an Executive Committee Member of the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl.
