I have worked in University Extension for 11 years, a large portion of that associated with 4-H youth development programs. In March of 2003, I accepted a position as an educator working specifically with leadership development for neighborhood associations and community organizations. I also serve as Nebraska's 4-H Military Liaison, serving children of military personnel at Offutt Air Force Base and National Guard and Reserves across the state. My wife Nicki and I have three children; Anthony (13), Erick (5), and Sydney (2).
