The Reno Community

This month, I wanted to take a moment to talk about investing in our community. I don’t just mean financially. I’m talking about showing up, supporting each other, and making our neighborhoods stronger, together. I’m talking about fostering relationships, improving local resources, and creating opportunities for growth.

It goes without saying that Reno has experienced significant change over the last decade but thank fully, there is still a great, local vibe. One of the easiest ways we can keep that alive is by supporting local businesses, choosing to shop at local stores, dining at neighborhood restaurants, and using local services. Simply by patronizing local businesses, we can keep money circulating within our community and help retain the unique qualities that make our city special.

Volunteering is another great way to invest in community. Time and skills donated to local charities, mentorship, educational programs, parks, public art projects or environmental efforts contribute to the well-being of others and promote a spirit of unity. Additionally, partnerships between businesses and community organizations can lead to sustainable initiatives that address pressing social issues, such as housing, food security, or youth development.

Investing in our community is a long-term commitment that is going to create lasting benefits. A thriving, well-supported Reno leads to local economic stability, stronger social networks, and a higher quality of life for all of us. If you’re daunted by all of the above, do remember that even small actions, like checking in on a neighbor or picking up litter at the park, make a difference.

This issue is full of great articles focused on a broad definition of the word “investment” but the one thing they all have in common is that they’re focused on people and organizations who are deeply committed to our community. Enjoy the read. I know I did!

THE VOICE OF RENO SPORTS

BY ERIC MARKS
MEET CHRIS PAYNE

If you’ve ever been to a Reno-area sports game then you’ve likely heard the gruff but excitable tenor of Chris Payne. Since 2016, Payne has been the emcee for the Reno Aces. And, after lending his radio voice and sports acumen to the Arizona Diamondbacks’

“It was what I wanted to do since I was 8 years old,” Payne says. Well, that and be in the band KISS, but the latter dream never came to fruition.

Listening to DJs on air, Payne just thought, “there’s no way people talk like that in real life.” But something

DO SINCE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD."

minor league affiliate, others took notice, landing him gigs with the Reno Ice Raiders, men’s and women’s basketball at University of Nevada Wolf Pack Football.

“I’ve got a career, I’ve got a job, and I’ve got a hobby,” says Payne, who spends afternoons on the air, evenings and weekends at games, and occasional stints emceeing weddings.

With so many jobs announcing local sports, we’ve started to see—or hear— Payne as the voice of Reno sports. And while his approach may change between teams due to the vastly different nature of the arena, his personality is as recognizable as his tone.

If you ask how Payne got onto the field, he’ll tell you, “dumb luck.” However, his passion and love for sports as well as his knowledge certainly played a part, as well as his early fascination with radio.

about the inflection really caught his attention, and never let go. And if you were wondering, no, most radio DJs don’t use their on-air voice in person, but, according to Payne, he has run into a few that do.

Payne credits much of his success to his fan-forward thinking. “I put myself in the position of a fan first,” he says. “You want to draw the best out of them.” Being a fan of all of the teams he announces certainly helps.

Payne says his job is much more than delivering a play by play though. To an extent, it’s his responsibility to control the crowd, getting fans chanting and cheering so they can hype up the team. His sole goal, he says, is helping the team win.

“When the team tells you that they get a charge from their names being announced the way I do announce them, that’s kind of a rush for me.”

Payne is an energetic force to be reckoned with, and quite a presence. At Aces games, he’s up on the stage cheering with Archie and on the field manning the engagement games attendees love to play. His style is a bit different at an Ice Raiders game where he’s stuck in a booth, but he manages to shine anyway, letting his booming voice bring animation to already thrilling games.

Payne says hockey is definitely the wildest sport he announces. The Ice Raiders games can be complete pandemonium with players crashing into the glass and breaking out into fights.

During peak season, Payne is emceeing six games per week and on the radio in the afternoons, which means taking care of his voice is priority. He’s been lucky so far, never canceling a game due to strained vocal cords. The closest he came was a matchup against El Paso in 2022.

“All I wanted to do was continue to bring the heat onto the team,” he recalls. Even without the microphone, he was screaming to get the crowd into the game. “The next day… I had next

"I WANT EVERYBODY TO HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS POSSIBLE.”

to no voice and I actually kind of panicked.” Luckily a mixture of warm salt water and hot tea with honey got him game ready by the time the first pitch was thrown. “It came back about 60%.”

At the end of the day, it’s about fan interaction—that’s what Payne loves most about his job. Especially with kids. “It’s important for the kids to have as much fun as possible,” Payne says.

Payne feels his time on the field is limited, knowing no voice can last forever. So, he’s making the most of every minute he has to live his dream, giving it his all, and asking all Reno sports fans to do the same.

“[Fans] are going to get their money’s worth,” he promises. “I want everybody to have as much fun as possible."

URBAN ROOTS IS GROUNDED IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND COMMUNITIES

A Positive Return on Investment

Photo By Two Elsewhere
ARTICLE BY ERIN HANA-BUTROS MEYERING
"We were driven by our belief that seed-to-table education is vital for our community."

Nestled in the heart of Reno, Urban Roots has blossomed from its modest beginnings into a cornerstone of community enrichment, embodying the essence of growth and sustainability. Established originally from an idea to combine STEM education with gardening and taking roots in 2012 with a vision to reconnect individuals to the source of their food, this nonprofit has cultivated a space where education, agriculture, and community intertwine seamlessly.

And while you may have read about Urban Roots before, our focus keeps to this issue’s theme—that of investment, with a nonprofit that invests in its community, especially when you invest in it.

FROM SEEDLING TO SECOND STREET

Urban Roots' journey began on 4th Street, where a small plot served as the initial space for its ambitious mission. Through unwavering dedication, a strong partnership with Renown Health, and community support for its programs, it has transformed into a thriving teaching farm, located on second street since 2017.

This expanded space, which is where the bees, butterflies, (and sometimes) pigs roam, offers a sanctuary for learners of all ages to engage with the land and their food sources. It’s complete with several hoop houses and chickens politely pecking their way through. This evolution reflects a long-term investment in the community, fostering a culture of sustainability and self-reliance.

“I am truly grateful for the incredible journey I’ve had with Urban Roots over the past decade. While the recent years have presented some of our toughest challenges, they have also brought about our most rewarding achievements," explains Jenny Angius, executive director of development and operations.

The recent addition of a teaching kitchen stands as a testament to Urban Roots' responsiveness to community needs. This facility not only enhances the learning experience but also serves as a hub for culinary education, demonstrating how to transform homegrown produce into nourishing meals. Such projects underscore the organization's dedication to equipping individuals with practical skills that promote health and well-being.

"Thanks to the invaluable feedback from our community and partners, we embarked on the exciting project of creating a teaching kitchen—and we did it!

We were driven by our belief that seed-to-table education is vital for our community, and we were confident in our ability to deliver it effectively."

CULTIVATING KNOWLEDGE ACROSS GENERATIONS

At the core of Urban Roots' philosophy is the belief that education is a lifelong endeavor. It’s how the team literally helped build the teaching kitchen, and how they stay resourceful in everything they do.

The organization offers a diverse array of programs designed to engage participants from young children to seasoned adults. These initiatives include hands-on workshops, summer camps, and after-school programs, all centered around the principles of sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.

"Working at Urban Roots has been eye-opening— there’s so much about gardening we need to know. I grew up on a farm but never paid attention to the science behind it," says Zak Shellhammer, Urban Roots’ marketing coordinator. "Here, I’ve seen firsthand how everything is directly connected—from composting and seedlings to bees making honey. Watching people of all ages learn these skills reinforces how vital it is for them to grow and cook their own food. Even I’ve felt the impact, bringing healthier habits into my own life. If it’s influenced me, imagine the ripple effect on our community!"

A VISION FOR HOLISTIC EDUCATION

Urban Roots is steadfast in its commitment to making seed-to-table education accessible to all. This approach ensures that the knowledge imparted extends beyond the farm's boundaries, reaching into homes and neighborhoods throughout the region.

From partnerships teaching gardening and nutrition to clients of the Northern Nevada HOPES tiny home community, Hope Springs, to nutritional classes and produce efforts in partnership with food pantries in the area, to even outdoor excursions at the farm with both cardiology patients and their doctors, Urban Roots continues to drive programming that extends the power of the garden to myriad northern Nevadans.

"I am incredibly proud of our team and their collective vision for the future of Urban Roots. Our goal is to further integrate holistic education into our programs, ensuring our seed-to-table

Our goal is to further integrate holistic education into our programs. “ ”

education becomes even more accessible within our community," says Sydney Roberts, executive director of programs and staff. "We are committed to expanding off-site programming and forging partnerships that uplift and empower our neighbors."

THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT

Urban Roots' success is a reflection of the community's collective investment—an investment that transcends financial contributions. It’s about fostering a dynamic environment where knowledge, resources, and support are shared freely, benefiting Reno and its surrounding cities. The organization's reliance on donations, sponsorships, and grants highlights the importance of collaborative efforts in sustaining and expanding its impactful programs.

As Urban Roots continues to flourish, it serves as a reminder that investing in our community yields bountiful returns. These returns sometimes look like a 4-year-old learning where tomatoes come from; watching someone hesitantly start to garden, but by day’s end enjoy the dirt gracing their fingernails; or even reminding people to get outside and try something new.

By supporting initiatives that educate and empower, we sow the seeds for a healthier, more resilient future. Together, we can cultivate a landscape where everyone has the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.

Throughout the year, Urban Roots holds various events and fundraisers perfect for growing and ensuring their programs remain sustainable for generations to come.

NIGHT SHIFT

When the recession hit late in the first decade of the 2000s, like a lot of others in the corporate banking world, Ben Davis lost his job. Davis had spent the bulk of his early career on the creative side of corporate banking and branding.

Ben Davis captures Reno After Dark
"Downtown Reno is not as bad as the reputation it has been given by some locals."

His world changed in a big way. Davis knew he still wanted to tap into his creative brain. And that’s about the time he fell in love with “Reno After Dark.” That’s the name of his Instagram account that now has more than 170,000 followers.

“For the first time, I didn’t have any set income,” the now 45-year-old says. “My wife told me to get out of the house and don’t worry about money. I started going downtown at night, shooting photos. It was just part of a personal project... I showed my work to people. They said I need to share my work, get it out on Instagram. I started the account in 2012 and it continued to grow and become its own income stream. I do social media for businesses that align with the brand. And it’s become its beast!”

So, what is Reno After Dark? It’s the style of photography that Davis explains as “a little bit of street

photography, a little bit of street portrait, a little bit of urban landscape, and part documentarian. It’s a little bit of tension between those things.”

Davis’ affinity for downtown Reno street images came about largely by accident. His followers can thank his wife’s love of after-work hours appointments of female beauty maintenance.

“The first couple of times I went downtown, my wife was having her nails done and it would happen to be at night,” he says. “I’d go with her and then go walk around during her appointments. That’s when I realized I like night photography a lot. It’s a little more challenging from a technical perspective, but also Reno is a unique city at night. The colors are eclectic. Interesting people come out at night. You get tourists, locals, police, and fire. The city not only looks different but behaves different and nighttime is definitely my jam.”

You can take one look at Davis’ photography and see his camera skills speak for themselves. He started shooting pictures as a pre-teen. His first camera was a Nikon EM from Action Camera in Sacramento. Still, it took a while for the love of photography to fully blossom.

“I shot for a couple years with my dad. It was a chance for us to spend time together, but it didn’t really hook me. At the time it was a little slow. You were still using film. It didn’t click with teenager me. I decided to go graphic design instead. Then in 2009, I bought a Canon 30D. It was my first digital camera; and I was hooked in the art of taking photos, the gear, everything about it. Something with the purchase of that Canon totally clicked and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.”

Davis often gets asked about expanding his imagery beyond downtown Reno. Does he get worried for his safety in the late hours of the day? Would he be interested in shooting other areas of Reno - after dark? There’s an easy answer for why focuses his efforts on the Virgina Street and Truckee River corridor.

“I go downtown two or three times a week and shoot photos. It’s easily one of the highlights of my week."

“My experience is anecdotal, but downtown Reno is not as bad as the reputation it has been given by some locals. I’d have more concern for my safety during the day more than I ever had at night. I still tell people to use common sense, but it has been my experience that Reno isn’t a terrifying experience after dark,” Davis says.

“I have done other things after dark - the Reno Rodeo, the air show - but in terms of street photography, there are no other parts of Reno that are very pedestrian. It’s so hard to encounter people on the street, but in downtown Reno, where you’re among the [businesses] and concerts, that works. If you walk up

to somebody at Meadowood mall, you’re not necessarily met with the same understanding when they see a guy with a camera.”

Davis seems to have definitely found his niche. He’s turned Reno After Dark into a success and found ways to monetize that success into an income stream that supports his family, and maybe most important of all, he’s enjoying his work.

“I absolutely love it,” Davis says. “I go downtown two or three times a week and shoot photos. It’s easily one of the highlights of my week. I joke that it’s a little bit of quiet time, just me and my camera. It’s my creative outlet. It fills the cup so to speak.”

ON STAGE

A.V.A. BALLET ENRICHES THE RENO ART SCENE THROUGH DANCE
ARTICLE BY LIZA BELKA PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMI KASE ROHLFING

Reno’s thriving arts scene is shaped by organizations dedicated to fostering community through education, creativity, and cultural enrichment. Among these organizations is the A.V.A. Ballet Theatre, which not only produces breathtaking performances but is also committed to making ballet accessible and meaningful to the people of Northern Nevada.

Founded in 1994 by Artistic Director Alexander Van Alstyne, the A.V.A. Ballet Theatre has always been about more than just dance. The company’s mission extends beyond the stage, focusing on fostering young talent, providing educational opportunities, and ensuring that ballet remains a vibrant and accessible art form in Reno.

"We believe that ballet should be for everyone," says Steve Trounday, an A.V.A. board member. "Whether it's a child attending their first performance, a dancer training for a professional career, or a community member experiencing the magic of live art, our goal is to make ballet as impactful and inclusive as possible."

One way that A.V.A. achieves this is through its ticket donation program, which provides over 800 tickets each year to local schools and underserved audiences. Additionally, A.V.A. works with local schools and arts organizations to create educational materials that encourage students' understanding and appreciation of ballet.

“WE BELIEVE THAT BALLET SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE.”

Beyond the theatre itself, A.V.A.’s impact is deeply felt by its dancers. Julia Zorio, who plays Wendy in the theatre’s current production of Peter Pan and has trained with A.V.A. Ballet Theatre since the age of 7, credits the company with shaping her artistic and personal growth.

"A.V.A. Ballet is my home," Zorio says. "I remember watching performances as a little girl, completely mesmerized and dreaming of the day I could be on that stage. Now, I get to be part of that experience — not just for myself but for other young dancers who come to see us perform."

For Zorio, ballet is more than movement — it’s storytelling, connection, and

self-expression. She credits the discipline and dedication required to perform at A.V.A. for preparing her for challenges both on and off the stage. She also recognizes the profound way that the performances touch audiences, especially first-time viewers.

"The best part is seeing how people react," she shares. "Ballet is an emotional art form. It speaks to people in ways words can't, and that’s why it’s so important that we continue bringing it to as many people as possible."

Producing professional ballet performances is no small feat. Each A.V.A. production requires a hefty investment, with costs reaching upwards of $125,000 per show. These expenses include live orchestration,

nationally renowned guest artists, set designs, and costumes. Despite these financial challenges, A.V.A. remains dedicated to keeping high-quality ballet alive in Reno.

Community support plays a critical role in sustaining the ballet. Attending performances, making donations, and spreading awareness all help ensure that the A.V.A. Ballet Theatre continues to serve and inspire audiences for generations to come.

For those looking to experience the magic of the A.V.A. Ballet Theatre firsthand, their upcoming performances include:

• Vortex, The Ballet That Rocks: July 18–19 at the Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater

• The Little Mermaid: September 20–21 at the Pioneer Center

• The Nutcracker: December 19–21 at the Pioneer Center

• Swan Lake: April 11–12, 2026 at the Pioneer Center

MONEY MOVES

Key investment considerations in 2025

Knowing how to invest your money to maximize wealth preservation, optimize tax efficiency, and abate inflation is challenging. Finding the right diversification mix, including stocks, bonds, and real estate investments is both an art and a science. Luckily, professionals like Rachel Eckard from Edward Jones and James Sande from Ameriprise Financial are well-versed in the economic landscape of 2025 and have deep understandings of the market cycles and conditions that have shaped our country’s economy for decades. Here, the experts weigh in on a few questions about what people should consider in order to live well now, in the future, and to help care for their loved ones.

WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO IN ORDER TO ABATE THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION?

“Real estate and development are generally good ways to diversify your overall portfolio of

investments,” Sande says. “That can be especially true in Reno as we are a top relocation destination for people and companies. The demand is likely to grow with continued development and with individuals from Southern California moving here to escape the wildfires. Some investors use real estate and the stock market as potential hedges against inflation, depending on market conditions.”

IS USING REAL ESTATE A GOOD IDEA FOR RETIREMENT PLANNING?

“While the firm does not advise on products we don’t sell, for many, homeownership can be a beneficial investment if it aligns with their financial situation and long-term goals,” Eckard says. “But there can be pitfalls like the additional costs that come with owning a house with repairs and maintenance. There are alternative investments like housing and commercial real estate, among other things, that

can be very beneficial to have to diversify your overall investment portfolio and risk. The size of the slice of that investment portfolio in alternative investments will vary by person based on their goals and desires, so it’s best to discuss in depth with a financial professional.”

WHAT ARE THE BEST WAYS TO USE REAL ESTATE AS AN INVESTMENT?

Kristin Zuckerman, with Engel & Volkers representing real estate in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe, and Reno, weighs in. “ Rental Properties: Invest in residential or commercial properties to generate a reliable income stream through rental payments. Explore options like long-term leases for consistent cash flow or short-term vacation rentals for potentially higher returns. Flipping Houses: Acquire properties in need of renovation, enhance their appeal with thoughtful improvements, and sell them at a premium. This approach works best with a strong knowledge of the market (or relationship with a Realtor) and construction knowledge and/or relationships with contractors.  Buy and Hold Strategy: Acquire properties in sought-after locations and maintain them over the long term. As property values generally appreciate with time, this strategy not only provides steady rental income but also capital appreciation, making it a solid investment choice.”

WHY IS REAL ESTATE A GOOD OPTION FOR THOSE LOOKING TO SAVE FOR THE FUTURE?

“The down payment acts as a form of forced savings, which can be recouped upon the sale of the property. Additionally, mortgage payments contribute to the reduction of your principal balance, gradually increasing your equity in the home,” Zuckerman says.

“Over time, the property is likely to appreciate in value, further enhancing your investment’s worth. Together, these factors make real estate not just a place to live, but a strategic investment for saving for the future.”

IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO NORTHERN NEVADA TO CONSIDER?

“It’s great to think about projects and investments that the State is involved with. Take for example the University of Nevada, Reno with a few of the projects like the Lithium Loop with mining, battery creation, and recycling, and the designation of the University as a Tech Hub. Being aware of and informed about what is coming out and what is coming up in the area can help people understand the Nevada economic situation,” Sande says.

WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE CONSIDER AS THEY MAKE INVESTMENTS IN 2025?

“Investing earlier is better,” Eckard says. “If you can start investing in your twenties, or help your children start investing in their twenties, that can help build wealth over time. Our rule of thumb is investing 10-20% of your income into retirement savings. If you are starting in your twenties, closer to the 10% mark is OK, but if you’re starting in your forties, closer to 20% of your income can be a good idea.”

The financial investment market is extremely regulated, for good reason. These experts are not allowed to give broad financial advice but are more than happy to have personalized, honest, and open conversations with individuals. Through in-depth conversations in which the experts learn about your goals, your personality and interests, and what is most important to you, they are then able to give you a plethora of information and options tailored specifically to meet your needs. Given the complexities of investing, consulting a certified financial planner can help individuals explore options that best suit their financial goals.
