He has served on several boards in the Omaha and Council Bluffs area, including leadership roles in local community revitalization efforts in Benson. During his 12-year tenure on the Council Bluffs School Board, he and his wife, Christy, helped identify a need for STEM-focused programming in local schools. This led them to co-found a nonprofit that introduced VEX Robotics into Council Bluffs middle schools, later expanding into elementary programs. The organization recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary.
