Petrizzo is a 40-year resident of Southern Nevada and lives in Boulder City. He is an investment adviser repesentative for the credit union.

Hanaki lived in Boulder City from 1982-’86 with his family and was involved in the community. He attended elementary and junior high school here. His mother worked as a librarian and his father worked for the National Park Service at Lake Mead National Recreation Area and volunteered as a Boulder City firefighter/emergency medical technician.
