Kingman

Summary

MISSION-DRIVEN | ROOTED LOCALLY | BUILT FOR IMPACT I'm a seasoned operations, compliance, and HR professional with 14+ years of experience leading multi-state business strategy, risk reduction, legal compliance, and loss prevention across high-volume industries. My leadership background spans transportation, logistics, legal document preparation, food service franchising, and employment law. But at my core-I'm a native of this land, with family roots tied to the historic ranch above Hoover/Boulder Dam, prior to its construction. I bring fierce tenacity, regulatory intelligence, and deep personal motivation to succeed-not just for me, but for my family. I'm building a long-term, integrity-first insurance business I can one day pass to my daughter.
