ANTAUN ANDREWS
As we navigate life’s various journeys we are, at times, unknowingly forming the backstories of our success. However, as we only exist in the present, “the moment” can have an uncanny way of appearing greater than the sum of our total experiences. It is only when we learn to embrace those moments and their many facets that we realize our full potential. Antaun Andrews, grew up in the medium sized city of North Augusta, South Carolina. His parents and close relatives notably his uncle identified his potential for athletics at a young age. At that time no one knew where his talents would take him but they all could agree on one thing that Antaun, Taun for short, would soon outgrow the borders of Carolina. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Taun exceled in Track and Field, Football, and Basketball. By the time his highschool career was over the recruits were flooding in, he ultimately choose the University of Memphis. For four years Taun was a student - athlete earning success and notability both on and off the field. It was also during this time that Taun lost one of his biggest supporters, motivators, and male leaders in his Uncle. When asked how he was able to muster the strength to persevere, he credits the inspiration of his Grandmother saying it was her that held his head up and reinvigorated his passion for the sport that he had already given so much. Fast forward to December 2018 with his Collegiate track and field career complete, Taun graduated with his Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering. And with this accomplishment in hand it was soon on to the next endeavor. Summer 2019 the “Summer of Opportunity”, Taun’s collegiate efforts on the field had secured him multiple invites to train with Team USA. It was also during this period were Antaun would be offered an exclusive opportunity to work for a chain of resorts/casinos on the historic Las Vegas Strip. Needless to say he took the opportunity and got right back to business. Charged with learning resort management and business operations he fully emerced himself in his new industry. And once again his work ethic, discipline, perseverance, and ability to inspire is paying off. Currently Antaun, better known now as Mr. Andrews, is serving as an Executive Host of The D, Golden Gate, and Circa. Circa, the first of its kind state of the art facility, is an homage to the historic hospitality and glamour scene of Downtown Las Vegas. It seems only fitting that a man whose spent his life making the most out of opportunity and conquering the moment, holds the moniker of Executive Casino Host for such a prestigious organization. So, Mr. Andrews continue to embrace the moment, live with out measure, and go even farther than dreams can reach. We support you in this moment and the next.
