Rhonda has been married to Jeff for 28 years. She has two son Brandon 21 who attends UNR and Ryan 18 a Senior at Faith Lutheran HS in Las Vegas.
Rhonda loves the outdoors and will be found usually with her family on a side by side, ATV or camping on a weekend. If not, her and her husband might be watching Ryan play Lacrosse as he is starting his 3rd year on Varsity and has some offers to play in college. Traveling is the personal favorite of Rhonda's. Her favorite adventure so far has been her son's graduation trip to Iceland and Ireland a few years ago. Relaxing in the Blue Lagoon Hot Springs or Snorkeling between the Tectonic Plates in 35-degree water is something she will never forget.
The Big I is a great group of insurance professionals where you can meet all kinds of different agents with experience to learn from and companies you may not know had opportunities or products to offer you. It's a great way to watch the collaboration of great ideas and strategies for our business.
My favorite Big I event was our golf tournament when I played with Mike Schellin and his wife. I was not a good golfer by any means and Mike and Nixon McCune were trying to attempt to keep my “baseball swing" out of play. After many efforts, I surprised myself by winning a club for “closest to the hole" in that tournament.
Rhonda grew up in Chicago and is a big Chicago Bears and Cubs fan. Getting tired of the cold and snow was the reason she came out West.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH Rhonda...
