Byron resigned his position overseas and returned to Las Vegas in late 2012. Since his return, he has continued his dedication to service.

I believe there is a distinction between living in a community and being a part of the community. I choose the latter.
Family Life
Byron is married to Heather Brooks and together they have one son, Blake. Byron and Heather take it upon themselves to display leadership in the community regarding education. Byron is serving his third elected term on the Twitchell Elementary School Organizational Team, and Heather serves as the President of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Byron and Heather bring a great amount of passion to the table regarding their son’s education and their support of our communities education system.
Byron is a results oriented individual and has a proven record of implementing strategies to improve conditions. While working overseas in hostile areas he learned that communication is a key component to finding solutions, but action translates to results. His passion for community has been demonstrated through his foundation efforts, education advocacy, community suicide prevention engagement, volunteer work with the police department, and with his role as a mentor in the Veterans Treatment Court.
The best way to get something accomplished, is to simply roll up your sleeves and begin.
