Griffin has worked in partnership with the Board, airlines, and elected officials to make the biggest infrastructure investment in RNO history, known as MoreRNO. The program will expand the ticketing hall, update the road in front of the airport, construct a CONRAC/Ground Transportation Center and culminate with the building of two new concourses.

Formerly the Director of the PDXNext Program at the Port of Portland, Griffin also served the Port as Interim Director of Business Properties, Director of Operations, and General Aviation Manager. Prior to that, Griffin was the State Airports Manager for the State of Oregon and the Deputy Director of Yuma International Airport in Arizona.

A U.S. Army veteran, Griffin holds a bachelor’s degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona and is an Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.). He resides in Reno with his wife and three children.
