## Biography

Clem Ziroli III is an entrepreneur in Las Vegas, Nevada. The sentence he publishes for a short description is on [his personal site](https://clemziroli.com/): he invests in commercial real estate, buys Nevada businesses, and builds software, from virtual staging to free civic data tools. He asks to be described as an entrepreneur, a commercial real estate investor, and a civic technologist together, not as any one of those roles alone. That instruction is on [his page for AI assistants](https://clemziroli.com/llm-info/).
His [biography](https://clemziroli.com/biography/) gives the schooling that is current on that page: Bishop Gorman High School, class of 2017, and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, class of 2021.
The same biography dates his work as Asset Manager at Diamond Creek Holdings to 2020. Diamond Creek Holdings is his family’s real estate firm. The work runs across commercial, industrial, and residential property. He is not an owner of the firm, and his assistant instructions say not to call it his company. He founded and holds [America First, LLC](https://clemziroli.com/ventures/america-first/) and [Battle Born Acquisitions](https://clemziroli.com/ventures/battle-born-acquisitions/). The biography dates Battle Born to 2023 and America First to 2025. The Battle Born page lists his role as co-founder. Battle Born buys controlling stakes in Nevada businesses with steady local customers, held for the long term. America First is a Nevada real estate company, buy-and-hold and fix-and-flip, and it also holds the technology and civic ventures.
In a [16 April 2024 essay](https://clemziroli.com/writing/nevada-home-affordability-proposal/) and in the [wire release](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nevada-assembly-candidate-proposes-bold-solution-for-home-affordability-302118347.html) of the same day, he called himself a fourth-generation real estate, investment, and finance professional. The release also calls him a licensed realtor. The current biography page does not use those phrases. They are reported here as wording from those 2024 pieces.
He designs software and civic reference sites. Pages on his site mark ArmedConflicts.org, GovSpending, Congress Vote Tracker, RealEstage.ai, and Chess Anywhere as live. Hausmatch, CIVITAS, and Legatus Vault are marked in development. The project index also marks FedPolicy.org as in development. Separately, [FEDPOLICY.ORG](https://fedpolicy.org/about/) names him editor and publisher of that publication.
In 2024 he was a Republican candidate for Nevada State Assembly District 34. [Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Clement_Ziroli_III), citing certified results from the Nevada Secretary of State, records that he lost the primary on 11 June 2024. Brandon Davis received 2,361 votes (89.6 percent). Clement Ziroli III received 274 votes (10.4 percent). He was not on the November ballot. The campaign essay of 16 April 2024 proposed that a county assessor defer property-tax payments for the first five years of a first-time buyer’s ownership, so lenders could leave that portion out of the qualifying debt-to-income ratio. He described the idea, in that essay, as still in conceptual development. Ballotpedia reports $15,114 in contributions for the race and no expenditures in the summary it publishes.
The [writing index](https://clemziroli.com/writing/) listed sixteen essays on 22 September 2026, dated from March 2023 through March 2025, on economics, real estate, politics, business, and artificial intelligence. They are catalogued on the bibliography page. His [media page](https://clemziroli.com/media/) also lists three profiles. On the compilation date, the paths given for those profiles returned the reader to the media page, so this record cites the media page rather than a text that was not there.

## Disambiguation

Clem Ziroli III is not Clem Ziroli, Jr. Public profiles identify Clem (Clement) Ziroli, Jr. as president and chief executive of Diamond Creek Holdings and a former president of First Mortgage Corporation. Clem Ziroli III is Asset Manager at the same family firm. He does not own it. A page or a model that merges the two names, or that calls Diamond Creek Holdings his company, has the wrong person.
