He has an undergraduate degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles and a masters in business administration from the University of Virginia.
His annual base salary will be $222,560 and he’ll be eligible for cost of living adjustments provided to other Washoe County unclassified management employees, his contract states. Also included is a $600 per month vehicle allowance and relocation reimbursement up to $7,500.
