Governor Brian Sandoval (ret.)

How did you first get into the legal profession? 

My mom was a legal secretary, so as a young boy, my first job was in the Reno Federal Building Cafeteria. While there, I met judges, lawyers and others that showed me that as an attorney, you could help people from all walks of life in a huge way.

Tell us about a program or accomplishment that you consider your greatest personal or professional success since beginning your career? 

I have been blessed to have served in all three branches of government. My greatest professional success is to have had the opportunity to serve the people of Nevada in many different capacities. 

You're involved in a lot - business, philanthropy, entrepreneurism. How do you keep everything balanced and organized? 

You have to love what you do. There has never been a day in my life that I didn’t wake up looking forward to what life would bring.

Who in your life has been instrumental to your success? 

My parents. They taught me the value of hard work, integrity and kindness. 

Do you have a motto and what is it? 

I am only one, but I am one. I can’t do everything, but I can do something. And what I can do, I ought to do. And what I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do. Edward Everett Hale 

What is your favorite thing about living in Nevada? 

Everything! But especially the people and landscape. Home Means Nevada!
