Jim and Sherry Pilzner — Scenic Nevada Heroe

The Pilzners have been the owner of Nevada Office Machines in Reno for 12 years and have sold office equipment for over 25 years. The Pilzners are an active members in the community and currently serves on the Southeast Washoe County Citizens Advisory Board. Jeff is a former Reno City Councilman and one of the first Reno City Planning Commissioners. He is currently a member of Connected Communities, the Republican Men's Club and the Hidden Valley Country Club.

Jeff was born in San Antonio, Texas and raised in Detroit, where he graduated from Michigan State University. He is married to Sherry Morrey, whose family owns the local beverage company Morrey Distributing. Sherry has a background as a flight attendant and works with the Figure Skating Association. The Pilzners have three children.

Pilzner says it makes economic sense to preserve the area's quality of life. "Reno is a beautiful city and billboards detract from that beauty," he says. "Billboards don't make sense from a business perspective when your community depends on tourism."

Pilzner is on the Scenic Nevada Board of Directors and has contributed printing supplies for the group's efforts. He also provides funding for cash prizes to Scenic Nevada Photo Contest.
