Before moving to general assignment, Max covered all things violent and weird after dark in Las Vegas. He still does more or less the same thing, just in the daylight now. Max was born and raised in northwest Vegas valley and studied at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he held multiple positions at what is now the Scarlet and Gray Free Press. He worked at a comic shop for six years and regrets every minute of it. Max joined the Review-Journal as an intern in 2016 and began working full-time in 2017.
