For me, Ely and White Pine County is home. It always has been and it always will be.
I was born in Ely and spent the first years of my childhood at my Grandpa Walt Rosevear’s ranch located
in White River Valley, with my parents Dick and Karen Rosevear and siblings, Debbie, Jeff and Buzz. I
graduated in Fallon Nevada and have attended Western Nevada Community College and Great Basin
College.
I have been lucky enough to work in many different professions, but the majority of my career has been
in Procurement/Management. I currently work for Midway Gold as their Regional Nevada Executive
Assistant. The only thing more important to me than my work with Midway is my family. I am married
to Kristopher Brown and have four children and three great grandchildren.
Over the years my journey took me away from Ely, but I always find my way home. I love the outdoor
recreation that White Pine County has to offer. On my days off I’m riding horses, hiking or attending
community events.
