"I am honored to have been selected for the position of executive director. I am excited by the opportunity to be of service to the member tribes of CNIGA. I am looking forward to assisting tribal leadership and welcome the chance to work through the issues and challenges facing Indian gaming," he said in a press release [CNIGA].
