Dave Harris is something of a legend around Las Vegas Billboards. He started the company in 1987 after moving to Las Vegas from Florida. He’s been in the billboard industry for nearly 50 years, owned three different billboard companies, served as the Chief Operating Officer for two international corporations, and even hosted a television program.

Dave enjoys anything outdoors, and loves to watch the sunrise and sunset, perhaps while off-roading in his side-by-side. Not surprisingly, he is also passionate about conservation of wildlife. He loves rooting for Alabama (Roll Tide!) and the Raiders, and eating his son Chad’s BBQ.

“Las Vegas Billboards is like home for me,” Dave says. “I enjoy the constant growth and change, and being surrounded by a staff that is excited about that growth and change.”

As a second-generation billboard operator, you could say that billboard advertising is not just one of Chad Harris’ passions, it’s in his blood.

Chad enjoys giving back to the community that raised him. He hopes to improve learning opportunities for Nevada children as a board member of The Public Education Foundation (https://thepef.org). Chad is also a football fan, and he’s glad to have the Raiders stadium just about a mile down the road from LVB headquarters. He enjoys checking out all the attractions that Las Vegas has to offer with his wife and daughter, but staying home, making them breakfast every morning, and spending time together in the swimming pool are his favorite.

“Some of my earliest memories are tagging along with my father after he started Las Vegas Billboards. We’d visit new building sites or check lights at night,” Chad says. “It’s exciting to put my unique experience growing up in this industry to good use, helping clients build an advertising plan and achieving results. Every day brings a new opportunity, and our team is ready.”

Kristi Gardner spent a decade in the hospitality industry, working her way from the front desk to the executive offices, before joining Las Vegas Billboards in 2012. She’s a native of California and Arizona and has called Las Vegas home since 2004.

Kristi enjoys spending time with her husband and kids, and raising awareness about autism. For the first time in her life, she is passionate about a sports team — the Vegas Golden Knights!

“My career at LVB is my favorite thing about living in Las Vegas,” Kristi says. “This job is exciting, and I like that it is always changing — that keeps me on my toes.”

Blake Bradley was born here, long enough ago that his birth certificate describes the hospital’s location on E. Sahara near Maryland Parkway as “Rural Las Vegas.” After a recent two-year stint in Texas, he’s glad to be back among the mountains.

Blake gained sales and operations expertise in radio, print, transit, and both sides of outdoor advertising before joining Las Vegas Billboards in 2018.

Blake is a founding member of Project 150 (https://project150.org), which helps homeless teens earn diplomas. “Thousands of Las Vegas high school students don’t have a home to go to every night,” Blake said. “Their desire to succeed despite their struggles is truly inspiring.”

You know Blake is a Las Vegas native because he has stories like following Jerry Lewis home one night with some buddies in hopes of meeting the comedy legend… but instead, he nearly met the jaws of the Lewis’ family rottweiler. These days Blake loves to spend time with his kids and be active, and on game days you can find him enjoying a stromboli at Four Kegs, deciding whether he wants to root for or against the Dallas Cowboys and cheering on his UNLV Runnin’ Rebels.

“I’m a media kind of guy,” Blake says. “But Las Vegas Billboards stands apart from the rest. We have the best people and a truly exceptional product.”

Rick Kramer can best be summed up as positive, productive, and professional. Originally from New Jersey, Rick is an honorary Nevada native: not many people can say they’ve called Las Vegas home since 1964. Rick got his start in TV production in 1972 and started selling television ads in 1977. He joined an advertising agency in 1982, heading up new business and creative projects. In 1990, he and his wife started a full-service agency of their own. Rick has been with Las Vegas Billboards since 2011.

Rick’s house can be a little noisy because he’s passionate about animal adoption (even horses!) and while he likes to golf and garden, he also plays the drums. Although his favorite restaurant is Ferraro’s, he says his favorite meal is anything his wife makes him (aww!). On weekends you might find him rooting for the Vegas Golden Knights or the Raiders, or reading the Sunday paper with a cup of coffee.

“The billboard business is the most rewarding business I have ever been a part of,” said Rick. “At LVB, we do things differently from our competitors. We strive for total customer satisfaction, and offer our clients the best technology in the industry, in some of the best locations in Southern Nevada. Big time OOH products and services with a family touch: it’s very unique.”

Brian Bangor brings award-winning sales and leadership skills to his role at Las Vegas Billboards. As the owner of a direct sales company for nearly a decade before joining LVB, Brian is also an expert in marketing, development, and branding.

Since 2013, he has volunteered with Operation Smile, which helps provide safe surgeries for those born with cleft lip and cleft palate worldwide. He has also organized community service efforts for Las Vegas Food Bank and Habitat for Humanity.

Brian is a big sports fan, and holds a degree in Sport Management from Otterbein College in Columbus. While you can take the guy out of Ohio, you can’t keep him from rooting for his Ohio State Buckeyes and Pittsburgh Steelers — and Vegas Golden Knights.

If it’s not football season, you can probably catch Brian in the pool on the weekends, spending time with friends and family and being active.

When he’s not hanging out with his two dogs, Steven loves all the concerts and shows Las Vegas has to offer, and enjoys pursuing his lifelong love of music. As a DJ and a music producer, he loves making people dance. He even has a podcast featuring classic disco dance tracks as well as his own material.

According to Brian, the company culture at LVB is what sets it apart. “The people here really care, and will go out of their way to help,” Brian says. “I’m excited to work with this team and service our wonderful clients.”

A cross-platform media sales expert, Joe Oreb has been in advertising for more than 20 years, with a background in billboard and radio sales.

Joe enjoys helping our senior community through Meals on Wheels and working with the Alzheimer’s Foundation. He is a big music fan, and likes to hike and go to the gym. But on Sundays, you’ll find Joe watching his hometown Seattle Seahawks football. He also speaks Croatian, and loves the Bulgarian cuisine at BG Bistro, where you might find him enjoying a plate of cevapi, a dish of grilled minced meat, and ordering the biscuit cake for dessert. Dobar tek!

We have such an amazing inventory of billboards to choose from, combined with a family-like atmosphere,” he says. “We make it easy for our clients: working with us just feels like home.”

Steven Cabral studied broadcasting in his hometown of Los Angeles, and worked at several radio stations as an on-air studio engineer before transitioning to marketing. He’s a media-marketing veteran who built a digital billboard network from the ground-up.
