I am humbled and honored to succeed Al Riskowski, a true champion of Nebraska Families, as Executive Director of Nebraska Family Alliance. He has been both a mentor and friend to me.


In 2001, Al gave me the privilege to join the Nebraska Family Alliance staff to develop grassroots advocacy efforts, create a prayer network and work with elected leaders on pro-life and education issues. The past 15 years have been rewarding and a tremendous training ground.

Today, I am grateful to have been selected as executive director by the Board of Directors after a search for qualified candidates. My passion is to see a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive and life is cherished.

As a new chapter begins, I want to thank each of you, NFA’s ministry partners. Because of you, Nebraska Family Alliance exists to advance Family, Freedom and Life by influencing policy, mobilizing prayer and empowering people.


NFA’s three pillars of Prayer, Policy and People are core to who we are and will continue to guide us daily.


Thank you for your continued support and prayers. Your generosity enables us to serve and your prayers sustain us!
