Connie Harrell

Working within the entrepreneurial environment, where innovation is the focus, is one of the most rewarding experiences I've had within my career. My experience is as a serial entrepreneur turned investor but continuing on in the entrepreneurial space. I have the luxury of seeing the latest and greatest opportunities. Some of the opportunities have a significant social impact which makes all things even better.

On a personal note, my family is most important and my goal is to make a better life for my children than the one I am living.... and thanks to the wonderful life with my husband Larry, that will be quite the task.

Larry and I love to travel, cruise, sail, kayak, and swim in the waters of Catalina, especially when the temperature gets up to 74 degrees. We actually lived on our yacht for a few years and now we spend as much time there as possible. I always feel grounded when we are close to the water. The constant waves of the ocean energize me and my mind is always happy and content when we're out in the open.

We're new now to Lake Las Vegas and we're finding the lake is wonderful too, it actually calms my soul. We'll still be in SoCal often managing our companies there and visiting our yacht, though we now call Lake Las Vegas home.
