HEIDI HARRIS
BRYAN SHIGEKAWA
A native of Las Vegas, Heidi Harris has been a broadcaster since 1998. She got her start working in downtown Las Vegas, as a sort of intern, ( working for free ), in the middle of the night, which she says "Was worth every cent!"
She’s hosted shows in Vegas, Los Angeles, and St. Louis, and still freelances for various radio stations. She’s podcasting these days (who isn’t?) and doing video interviews. She’s been named one of Talkers Magazine’s “Heavy Hundred” talk show hosts, numerous times.
As a Christian and social conservative, she’s stared down the cancel culture mob and come out - winning - on the other side. Recently inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame, Heidi feels called by God to be a “town crier”, calling out corruption and standing up for those who don’t have a platform.
She’s authored two books: “Cocktail Waitress Wisdom”, and “Don’t Pat me on the Head!”
Heidi and her husband Brian have been married for 22 years. Hobbies include traveling with her husband and dogs, in their truck-camper, rescuing and restoring neglected animals, and furniture.

JON D. FONDY
WHAT IS EFFECTIVE NETWORKING?
The action, or process, of successfully, and effectively, interacting with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts.
"The skills of networking, bargaining, and negotiation."
The linking of computers to allow them to operate interactively.
"The demand for high-production, multi-media content-creation, and the exchange of that content, through wireless networking is increasing rapidly."
NEVADA MEDIA NETWORK's APPROACH
Professional networking is a process by which you expand your knowledge and capability by interacting with other professionals in your career field.
Think of networking simply as talking with people, getting to know them and letting them get to know you.
Nevada Media Network's approach includes all of the above, BUT with a Christian emphasis on : a) Faith, b) how ALL networkers, within their network, are treated,
and, c) in deciding the kinds of projects that Nevada Media Network would support.
SUCCESSFUL NETWORK GROUPS
A successful Network can be a handful of individuals, or a few dozen, or hundreds, possibly thousands, or even millions of individuals and / or organizations, from around the world. Members of a particular network can meet : daily, weekly, monthly, or whatever frequency is decided upon by that group, either in person or online.
The activities of a Network can be tracked, shared, and brought together through the use of an effective multi-media website - such as the one you're looking at - right now!
Nevada Media Network's goal is global reach, that few Christian oriented media organizations will be able to match. Our dynamic content can be consumed by, and is suitable for, people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests.
OUR FAITH
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons : Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, through His blood shed, and in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that the salvation of lost and sinful people being regenerated by the Holy Spirit, is absolutely essential.
We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation; they that are saved unto the resurrection of Eternal Life.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
