Michael Jung – Burlington Capital
I was born and raised in Omaha. I left Omaha for about 8 years to attend TCU in Fort Worth, then work for a few years, but returned to Omaha. Since I was born and raised in Nebraska, the better suited question for me is, “what has kept you in Nebraska?” Nebraska is a wonderful […]
Susan Stibal – Inside Outside
My great-grandfather was a Nebraska homesteader in the 1880s.

Ben Williamson – Invest Nebraska
I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, where I have lived for 32 years which include my undergraduate and graduate degrees (at the University of Nebraska) and the entirety of my professional career.
