Byron Brooks is a U.S. Army combat veteran and Las Vegas native. After his military service and collegiate studies, he was recruited by a private agency to work for the Department of Defense and later the U.S. Department of State in support of multiple high threat government operations overseas. Byron’s experience included managing multimillion-dollar government projects in remote, hostile locations across the globe. Byron resigned his position overseas and returned to Las Vegas in late 2012. Since his return, he has continued his dedication to service.

Community Involvement

Byron has found many ways to engage the community. He is currently serving his sixth year as a mentor in the Veteran’s Treatment Court Program, he is a board of trustee for Congregation Ner Tamid, an advisory board member for the Youth Leadership Authority, an instructor with the Nevada Coalition for Suicide Prevention, and founder of the Nevada Veterans Alliance. Previously, Byron served for three years on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Departments Use of Force Board.

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.

Lduna is a concierge MedSpa that focuses on the latest technology of non-surgical aesthetics and clinical treatments for functional mobility to improve the quality of clients lives.  Additionally, Byron continues to partner with community Veterans to help others launch new ventures that will help bridge the gap between military experience and private sector business, helping veterans secure gainful employment. Byron continues to support efforts that enhance the lives of all community members.
