A proud graduate of Valley High School (Class of 1993), he holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from the University of Nevada, Reno, and a Master of Science in Crisis and Emergency Management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Chief Samuels began his career with the Clark County Fire Department in 2001. Over the years, he rose through the ranks with distinction—becoming a paramedic in 2003, an engineer in 2005, a captain in 2011, a battalion chief in 2019, and deputy fire chief in 2020. In 2024, he was appointed Fire Chief, a role in which he continues to serve with vision, compassion, and a deep commitment to excellence.
