A little about me:

    I worked my way through college, graduating from UNLV with Bachelor’s degrees in both Economics, and Hotel Administration.  After graduating, I became an Operations Coordinator at McCarran International Airport, where I am responsible for the safety, and security of the airfield, and travelling public.  While working at the airport, I obtained a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science, with an emphasis in management. 

    As  a member of the At Risk School Committee with Valley High School, I worked on many programs to help at risk students graduate.  Also, as the Vice President of the Alzheimer’s Association of Southern Nevada, I've worked with the state of Nevada, and was able to get a federal grant for $750,000, which was matched by the state, for a total of $1.5 million for seniors and individuals with Alzheimer’s.  I am also currently a parent volunteer at my son’s school.  I believe in participating and being involved with our children’s education.   

    I have lived in Nevada for over 31 years, I am married to Rina, a nurse, and we have two sons,  Don Jr. age 5, and David, age 3.   I strongly believe in education, job opportunities, family values, and quality of life.  As your representative I vow to work hard for all the members of Assembly District 42.
