I was the founder of the Splunk user group for the Lincoln/Omaha area, Splunk402. I have been part of the SplunkTrust since the founding.  I was the 2022 Splunkie award winner for Community.  I have been involved in coaching of youth sports. I have coached athletes as young as pre-kindergarten through high school students. I have helped athletes through coaching and mentoring in tee ball, baseball, wrestling, weight training, and track and field. Most recently I have been the assistant coach and defensive coordinator for a youth football team as well as a grade school soccer coach.  I have been privileged to help grow my own children through sports as one of their coaches or their biggest supporter on the sidelines.
