So happy to have Edwin Kang attending the Managing Partners meeting in Amelia Island this year.

Edwin earned his invite to this meeting by placing in the Top 50 Partners company wide.

Congrats on a phenomenal 2025, Edwin. I’m looking forward to having you at next years meeting as you continue to lead your peers.

First time as a judge at the DECA conference that gives aspiring high school students across the nation an opportunity to get in the hot seat and pitch their business proposals to industry professionals.

I can’t help but be so impressed by how prepared and polished some of these students are today.

Thanks Douglas Shepard for the invite, what a fun way to volunteer and give back!

What a night to remember!

Our 2026 Orange Coast Awards Gala was one for the history books. We gathered in beautiful Huntington Beach to celebrate a record breaking year, recognize our top performers and also commemorate our late friend and previous Managing Partner, AJ Brady by renaming the Legacy Award after him.

Among our esteemed guests were AJ’s parents who traveled from Alabama to gift us with their presence and present the inaugural AJ Brady Legacy award.

It was a night filled with creating great memories while still remembering those who have left their impact on the Orange Coast team even to this day.

None of this would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of my cohost for the night our Director of Development, Lovely Zunino and the rest of the Orange Coast leadetship team.

What an incredible honor to be able to take home four National Trophies at tonight’s Award’s Dinner in Washington DC.

Our success in 2024 was a collective team effort from everyone at the New York Life Las Vegas and I couldn’t thank everyone enough for all their hard work and tireless dedication.

Beating last year’s record will not be an easy challenge but one we are more than ready to roll up our sleeves to tackle!

Didn’t want to go into 2025 without celebrating these two overachievers on the leadership team.

Big congrats to our Senior Partner Jameson Bauman for passing his Series 24 and our Director of Development Chris Rial on passing his Series 7.

Both of these exams are highly regarded in our industry in addition to being very challenging to pass. Even with the craziness of the year end push, these two were still able to put in the work to pass these exams.

Great job gents!

I had the honor of hosting one of my earliest mentors, Rick Paulsen and his study group at the New York Life Las Vegas campus today.

Rick and his study group were kind enough to take the time to have a Q&A session with our new and budding team to share best practices and life stories after their planning session. It’s not every day you have so many Council Presidents, Council Vice Presidents and Chairman’s Cabinet advisors in one place and it was great to see them impart their knowledge and share ideas with the next generation.

Rick has always been a huge supporter of my journey with New York Life in addition to being a mentor and a dear friend.

Thanks Rick for taking the time to visit and give back. We appreciate you and the team!

It’s with great pleasure that I announce the two newest promotions at New York Life Las Vegas! Please give a round of applause to our very own Jameson Bauman and Chris Rial!

Jameson has now taken on the official title of Senior Partner in the Las Vegas General Office. In his new role, he will take on a more hands on approach to helping me continue to grow the General Office and expand our footprint in the local community. Jameson has worked tirelessly over the last few years to achieve this milestone in his career, and I am confident that his continued leadership will serve the office well into the future.

Chris has been promoted to Director of Development in the Las Vegas General Office. As a Director of Development, he will continue his invaluable role in coaching and training our advisors and agents, while being given more autonomy to help the management team design and execute on training initiatives.

I am incredibly proud of the hard work that both Jameson and Chris put in on a daily basis to impact everyone in the General Office, their hard work has definitely paid off and this is just a small glimpse into their continued upward career trajectory.

Congratulations on your promotions and thank you for all you do for the Las Vegas General Office.
