HIGHLIGHT

PHOTOGRAPHY CONTRIBUTED BY REBECCA S. GRATZ AND ANDEE HOIG

Running toward great youth programs SALVATION ARMY’S ANNUAL LUNCHEON

The Salvation Army honored 16 students with scholarships of $12,000 on Tuesday, May 13, during its annual D.J.’s Hero Awards Luncheon. The students were chosen based on their ability to overcome struggles while serving others selflessly, in the spirit of the program’s namesake, D.J. Sokol.

The keynote presentation was delivered by U.S. Olympians Lolo Jones — a track and field and bobsledding superstar — and Jackie Joyner-Kersee, a six-time Summer Games track and field medalist. They each spoke of adversity in life on their journeys to become Olympic athletes. Jones, in particular, spent a part of her childhood in a Salvation Army church when her family needed a place to stay.

This year’s event was chaired by Fred Hunzeker and Carly Turner. Hunzeker noted

HONORS STUDENTS

that the D.J.’s Hero Luncheon is always special for him.

“We are always proud of the recipients and their selection represents their own journeys,” Hunzeker said. “Today, I was particularly proud of our speakers.”

Mike Cassling, who, like Hunzeker, is on the national and local advisory boards for The Salvation Army, said it’s all for the students, who have overcome poverty, disabilities, struggles with being immigrants, and more.

“Those kids are amazing,” Cassling said. “I used to bring my kids to this event just to hear their stories.”

Proceeds from D.J.’s Hero Awards will go toward The Salvation Army’s youth programs.

Arts organizations lose funding

In January, the NEA announced 1,474 grants to arts nonprofits in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington. D.C. This week, hundreds of arts organizations around the U.S. learned that those grants have been terminated.

An email sent to the organizations that lost funding stated: “The NEA is updating its grantmaking policy priorities to focus funding on projects that reflect the nation’s rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President. Consequently, we are terminating awards that fall outside these new priorities.”

The email then stated that funding was being reallocated to projects such as elevating historic black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, fostering AI competency, empowering houses of worship to serve communities, and more, stating, “Funding is being allocated in a new direction in furtherance of the Administration’s agenda.”

LB 650 approved by governor

On May 6, Gov. Jim Pillen approved a plan that scales back or repeals several business incentives.

The aim of the bill is to relieve Nebraska’s budget gap by about $51 million.

More than 10 programs will be scaled back or repealed by LB 650, according to the Department of Revenue and an update by Sen. Brad von Gillern, who introduced the bill, including: A credit to retailers for collecting sales tax ($11.7 million); Renewable Chemical Production Tax Credit Act ($8.5 million); Relocation Incentive Act ($8 million); Nebraska Advantage Rural Development Act ($7.3 million); Nebraska Biodiesel Tax Credit Act ($1 million); Creating High Impact Economic Futures, or the CHIEF Act ($900,000); Cast and Crew Nebraska Act ($500,000); income tax credit for food donations ($500,000); Nebraska Shoreline Rail Modernization Act ($500,000); Reverse Osmosis System Tax Credit Act ($250,000); and Urban Redevelopment Act ($101,000).

Greater Omaha Chamber announces relaunch of funding coalition

The Greater Omaha Chamber is pleased to announce the relaunch of the Business for Federal Research Funding (BFRF) Coalition, which currently includes over 50 chambers of commerce and business organizations in 28 states across the country – and continues to grow every day. The BFRF Coalition represents a united voice of the nation’s business community, advocating to maintain robust research funding levels in the federal budget.

A nonpartisan coalition of business organizations from red, blue and purple states, the BFRF Coalition will engage members of Congress and the Trump Administration to explain how research funding strengthens our nation’s economy and competitiveness. Investments in research lead to major breakthroughs in innovation, new technologies, life-saving medical treatments and millions of jobs. By continuing to invest in research and development funding, the nation will continue to lead the world in science, job creation, medicine and innovation.

JOHN STEVENS BERRY, FOUNDER, SEATED; JOHN BERRY, CEO, BERRY LAW, CENTER

To Serve and Protect GETTING NATION’S HEROES JUSTICE, BERRY LAW REACHES MILESTONE

It has been 60 years since attorney John Stevens Berry hung out his shingle as a small legal firm in Lincoln serving the veterans who would soon begin to return home from Vietnam in droves. It is hard to imagine anyone who was better suited for the role than Berry, who himself served in the infantry and Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

Fast forward to 2025 and the firm is not only still in good hands, it has grown substantially to serve clients in all 50 U.S. states. Its physical footprint is also considerably larger; in addition to the greatly expanded Lincoln office, Berry Law has added locations in Omaha and Council Bluffs and just christened a fourth location in Papillion. The firm employs 160, most of whom work locally, with a handful scattered over 10 additional states, and serves some 10,000 clients.

But for all that CEO John Berry, John Stevens Berry’s son, said the mission of Berry Law hasn’t changed.

“Our goal is to be a hero to our heroes,” he said. “We want to represent as many veterans as we can and serve those patriots who support our veteran community. We don’t need every car accident case, but we’d like every veteran car accident case, so we really want to continue to serve our heroes and grow our presence in the veteran community and continue to give back.”

The law firm was founded by in 1965 by John Stevens Berry, whose range of legal experiences are anything but routine. A decorated three-tour Vietnam veteran, as a member of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, Berry worked as chief defense counsel for Vietnam’s largest general court martial jurisdiction. His role took him throughout the country, arguing on behalf of GIs accused of wrongdoing, a practice that culminated with his defense of the 5th Special Forces against murder charges. His book, “Those Gallant Men,” chronicled his

experience as a lawyer in a combat zone.

Just as his father before him, John Berry’s background makes him uniquely suited to lead Berry Law, which he said is one of the top five largest national firms dealing in veterans’ disability. The junior Berry also answered the call of his country, serving as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army where he completed Airborne School and Ranger School. In 1999, while assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division, he deployed to Bosnia for Operation Joint Forge as a platoon leader and later served as a company commander in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Berry finished his military career as a battalion commander in the National Guard, retiring from military service as a lieutenant colonel. Today, in addition to being a lawyer and business executive, he’s the author of “Veteran Led,” and hosts a podcast by the same name.

He said where only about a third of the firm’s employees bring a military background with them, processes and protocols mirroring the discipline of the U.S. Armed Forces are on ready display.

“Where it helps the most is at the leadership level,” he said. “Our staff runs like an infantry battalion; we have a staff that takes the initiative, they own their sections but they also collaborate together to make most of the decisions. If they can’t come to a consensus or there’s an issue, we bring in the commander.

“This has not been easy; this has been trial and error and we’ve had some people who were brilliant but just were not good cultural fits. Today we have a staff that understands that and they see feedback as a gift. No one’s going to take conflict personally. We’re going to get it out in the open. We’re going to address it and we’re not going to hold grudges. We’re a meritocracy where the best decision’s going to win.”

Our goal is to be a hero to our heroes. We want to represent as many veterans as we can and serve those patriots who support our veteran community.

Berry said despite focusing on such a narrow slice of the population, there’s plenty of business to be had, thanks to evolving battlefield technology and gear.

“I don’t think a lot of people thought September 11 was going to be something that was going to carry and ignite two decades of war,” he said. “I also don’t think anyone was really ready for the number of veterans who were going come through with the types of injuries they have because of the technology. We had interceptor vests that protected us from bullets, we had better ballistic helmets, and we had better vehicles.

“What happened with that was we had a lot more injured veterans coming back with PTSD, traumatic brain injury and injuries that would’ve killed them with lesser technology. The good news was, they lived; the bad news was, we had a lot more disabled veterans coming back and had issues getting them not only treatment, but disability compensation.”

However, merely being a comrade in arms isn’t enough to build a successful law firm and Berry said the company has had to market itself and deliver the highest in customer service to be successful, just like any other firm.

“With the Veterans Administration, the problem is it takes a long time and so the key is to keep the clients informed,” Berry said. “I’ve seen some phenomenal lawyers over the years get great results for the clients but because of a lack of communication or a lack of processes and consistency, the client thinks the lawyers are terrible.

“People want instant gratification; they want answers and they want them right now. They don’t want to wait two or three days to be called back. We have developed a culture and systems to support that and to meet what I perceive as a growing trend in the legal marketplace where clients aren’t going to wait. If they call you and you don’t answer the phone, they’re calling the next lawyer. If you can’t answer their question, they’re going to contact another lawyer. If you don’t call them back, they’ve already left.”

As for the future of the practice, Berry said there’s still plenty of opportunity to be had, even with the company’s growth. He said the work of running such a firm hasn’t necessarily become easier with time, but the satisfaction of helping

- JOHN BERRY, CEO, BERRY LAW

clients through difficult situations is as profound as ever.

“Lawyers solve problems. All we do all day is solve problems, but being great at practicing law doesn’t mean you’re great at running a business,” he said. “Nothing is easy, you know? You have to be conditioned to win and being conditioned to win means you’ve got to be willing to do the work but also willing to take the hits and get knocked down and get back up. It’s a very hard process but it’s one worth doing.”

COVER story

Berry Law officially started a new era in its storied history with a ribbon-cutting on April 11 at its newest office in Papillion. The event, which attracted about 420 guests, gave the public a glimpse of the new location, which is the work home to 10 employees.

The 1,600-square-foot office includes advanced AV conferencing setups, a secure legal file system integrated with cloud-based platforms, a modern client intake center and a media production space for video content and virtual consultations. The building design emphasizes both functionality and hospitality, with veteran-focused artwork and ADAaccessible features throughout.

Guests at the celebration were treated to live entertainment by Jason Steiner and Herostock, the ribbon-cutting itself and a book signing and photos with CEO John Berry.

The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of an original painting by Nebraska artist Sam McIntire. The artwork portrays John Stevens Berry, Sr., founder of Berry Law, and commemorates his leadership in the landmark “Those Gallant Men” case, whereby JS Berry defended Green Berets on trial in Vietnam.

Both John Berry and his father, John Stevens Berry, were on hand to unveil the painting, a commissioned tribute that now hangs in the front lobby of the new office as a lasting tribute to the founder’s impact.

BANKING Back to Business

BY DWAIN HEBDA

Depending on one’s point of view, the pandemic era is either a relatively fresh piece of world history or a singular, unique event shrinking rapidly to a dot in the cosmic rearview mirror. No, COVID-19 does not dominate the headlines or evening news as it once did, but five years is not a long time for an event of that magnitude to simply fade away.

Truth be told, the lingering effects of the pandemic lie somewhere in the middle, especially in the business community, where the events of 2020 and 2021 resulted in new ways for consumers and businesses to communicate, carry on business and interact with one another.

Changing habits

One needs only look to the banking industry to see ways that the immediate challenges of the pandemic have rounded into the delivery of familiar services in new ways. Of these innovations, the most permanent are rooted in better, faster and more intuitive technology. According to an article published by Law360 last month, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta found less than half of remote purchases occurred via mobile phones in 2020, a number that jumped to nearly three out of four by 2023, when 45% of all payments to another person were made via a mobile device.

- BEN TIFFANY, TREASURY MANAGEMENT OFFICER, BANKERS TRUST

This fact, in turn, has spawned its own set of opportunities and challenges, both equally robust and both having yet to slow down. Fintech inventions have proliferated wildly to help accommodate these new consumer habits, with 30,000 new fintech startups launched last year alone, the article noted.

The flipside has been corresponding growth in security threats from bad actors. ACI Worldwide’s 2024 Scamscope predicted fraud losses through real-time payments such as payment apps and credit cards are expected to grow from 63% of total app fraud in 2023 to 80% in 2028, a jump in value of more than $3.3 billion. That doesn’t even consider the impact of another nationwide or global event.

Ben Tiffany, treasury management officer at Bankers Trust, said forwardthinking institutions have always kept one eye on such trends and added products and services to proactively meet them accordingly, an operational strategy the pandemic experience validated in the banking marketplace.

“Even ahead of the pandemic, Bankers Trust had significantly invested in innovative technology and solutions that offer convenience, efficiencies and safeguards for our business and commercial clients,” he said. “However, the pandemic exposed many manual banking practices and caused disruptions in cash flows for businesses that did not have these streamlined processes in place.”

“Koley

Jessen is an essential part of our team, helping ensure the NCAA Division I Men’s College World Series remains an iconic Omaha tradition.”

“Their trusted counsel allows us to focus on the experience, confident that every detail – from complex legal matters to strategic planning – is handled with care. Koley Jessen’s proactive approach, deep understanding of our needs, and unwavering commitment to the community, including their generous pro-bono contributions to College World Series of Omaha, Inc., help us deliver unforgettable experiences and leave a lasting legacy for Omaha.”

Series of Omaha, Inc.

Meeting new challenges

Tiffany said even the most rudimentary of processes, such as the cashing of checks, exposed their limitations during the pandemic, forcing banks to adapt or die.

“Incoming checks received at an office were not able to be deposited when most if not all employees were working remotely, so many businesses saw major delays in receivables,” he said. “We offer several capabilities that allow companies to reduce their dependence on being in-person. Our lockbox services enable businesses to have incoming checks mailed to a post office box, and our team handles all processing and remittance, delivering a file electronically to the business to post and reconcile in their software. As a result, businesses that had lockbox pre-pandemic saw little to no effect on receiving payments.

“In recent years, we implemented Integrated Receivables, an entire order-tocash technology platform that streamlines receivables electronically. We also have the equivalent payables product, Integrated Payables, that enables a business to export one file containing all card, ACH, checks and wire payments from their ERP system and upload it to our system for efficient processing.”

Many banks have also changed their approach when it comes to relationship CONTINUED

Our goal is to be more than a bank — we’re a partner.

management, including ongoing support and service to small business owners, said Kim Preheim, lead small business senior advisor, First National Bank of Omaha.

“Our relationship management approach has evolved significantly to address the changing needs of today’s time-constrained business owners,” he said. “Understanding that time is their most precious resource, we’ve prioritized two complementary strategies. First, we continually enhance our digital solutions based on direct customer feedback to ensure these tools deliver maximum efficiency and intuitive functionality. This allows business owners to manage their finances effectively, whenever and wherever it suits them.

“Second, we’ve fundamentally restructured our small business model to provide immediate, expert support. Our specialized Small Business Team now serves

the entire FNBO branch network, providing on-the-spot guidance that addresses the unique complexities of business owners. Rather than scheduling future appointments that business owners may not have time for, we connect them with specialists who can be reached by phone in under 35 seconds when visiting a branch. This commitment to meeting customers where they are significantly enhances both service quality and relationship development opportunities.”

This new focus pays off for the business customer in several important ways, Preheim said.

“We’ve adapted our approval processes, primarily to deliver faster decisions in today’s competitive environment,” he said. “For example, with equipment and vehicle financing, supply chain disruptions have created both price increases and heightened competition for available assets. Our streamlined processes help small business customers secure these essential resources before they’re sold to other buyers.

“Regarding lending criteria, the pandemic’s economic impacts have reinforced our focus on comprehensive risk assessment. We now place greater emphasis on identifying multiple repayment sources and thoroughly evaluating a business’s resilience — specifically their ability to withstand potential revenue fluctuations or temporary downturns.”

Assess and adjust

Tom Corrigan, president of ACCESSbank, said as the business community continues to settle back into the post-pandemic world, the challenge is on for banking institutions to recognize how their customers are doing business today and

to build products and services around meeting their needs.

“Today’s small businesses operate in an increasingly mobile and decentralized environment, and our digital banking solutions are built to support exactly that,” he said. “We offer remote deposit capture and mobile deposit capabilities that allow businesses to deposit checks securely without a trip to the bank, saving valuable time and providing flexibility.

“Our online and mobile banking platforms are designed to deliver fullservice functionality remotely, giving clients 24/7 access to their accounts, cash management tools, bill pay and ACH origination from wherever their work takes them. Whether they’re managing finances from a home office, coffee shop or warehouse floor, our digital tools are tailored to meet small business needs with both convenience and confidence.”

Corrigan said one of the unique contradictions of the pandemic is that for as many ways as it kept people apart, it inspired companies to develop that many more ways to connect with and serve customers. Those efforts, he said, continue to pay dividends today.

“The pandemic underscored how vital trusted relationships are to small business success,” he said. “Our bankers work closely with business owners to understand their unique situations, create tailored solutions and offer ongoing guidance, whether it’s navigating cash flow challenges or planning for growth. That relationship-first approach has allowed many of our clients to not only weather disruption but also emerge stronger.

“Through the uncertainty of the pandemic and beyond, our commitment to open communication and transparency is critical. Our goal is to be more than a bank — we’re a partner invested in helping our clients stay agile, secure and prepared for whatever comes next.”

If it ain’t broke

In the final analysis, however, some things have remained constant in banking operations. Kevin Svec, senior vice president-business banking for Centris Federal Credit Union said the operational fundamentals are as relevant and important as ever.

“Our processes haven’t changed, but our approach on how we view different market segments has evolved,” he said. “Impacts of post-pandemic inflation and the remote working concept remain today. The elevated cost of housing or reduced utilization of office space are just two examples which occurred due to the pandemic and require a different thought process. Inventory management has also been a topic, whether it’s the result of supply chain disruption or tariff-induced surcharges.”

NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA

-KIM PREHEIM, LEAD SMALL BUSINESS SENIOR ADVISOR, FIRST

“Personalized support and financial flexibility have always been important. That hasn’t and won’t change. The desire for convenient and versatile digital solutions, however, has only increased. This is a major focus for Centris as we understand small business owners expect a frictionless experience which allows them to dedicate more time to growing their business.”

Hutch Contract

Curating Curios

NICK HUFF AND BRANDON BEED FORM HUTCH TO HUTCH CONTRACT

It started with a hutch — a piece of midcentury modern furniture from a thrift store that was the first home item Nick Huff and his business partner, Brandon Beed, bought together. Huff, then working in marketing and sales for restaurants, spent most of his weekends combing through thrift stores for unique clothes. After meeting Beed, however, his passion turned from fashion to furniture made from the 1950s through the early 1970s.

“I loved going to thrift stores, and loved the hunt of what you could find,” Huff said, “and you know, back then, vintage was often a steal of a deal.”

Together, Huff and Beed amassed more and more vintage furniture, and thought about selling it online. That changed in early 2013 when Huff discovered a friend with a storefront in the Old Market had basement space available.

The community responded to this new store, aptly named Hutch, to purchase high-quality vintage furniture curated by now-business partners Huff and Beed. The timing was right — runways that year were full of 1950s-

and1960s-inspired dresses while TV shows such as “Mad Men” showcased the midcentury aesthetic in its full glory. By July that year, the business had moved out of the basement of McLovin at 1012 Howard St. and into its own 900-foot space in Midtown Crossing.

“I think Midtown Crossing called and asked if we could move our store, and we said, ‘It’s not a real store, it’s just a hobby,’” Huff said.

The sales kept coming and two years later, Hutch moved to a 4,300-square-foot space, mixing vintage finds with new pieces that mirrored the midcentury look and collaborating with local makers.

Moving, and shaking, forward

While working on his business, Huff was also front and center in the community. He was named an Omaha YP Summit Change Maker in 2015, the same year he became an Omaha Fashion Week judge. In 2017, he was the co-chair of KANEKO Soiree with Ryan Ellis. That love of community also inspired the dynamic duo

behind Hutch to venture into events.

“We really loved working with the local makers, and didn’t have enough space in our store to showcase everyone that we wanted,” Huff said. “So, we had the idea to throw an event called Hutchfest, where we would bring together, you know, as many local and regional makers as we could find, and people could really connect with the goods that they made.”

Huff and Beed, along with Teri Healy, ran Hutchfest for five years, taking it from a concept to an event that garnered more than 10,000 attendees and 300 vendors. That festival is now run as Midwest Fest, and will take place June 7 and 8 at Heartland of America Park.

Meanwhile, Huff and Beed kept expanding, opening a store in Kansas City as well as the Omaha location. They also started Made in Omaha, selling artisan-made products such as T-shirts and candles.

Then, companies and organizations came to them to help curate their furniture in the commercial space.

Contracting and expanding

“It was probably 2018 when we got our first contract,” Huff said. “And then it was really…2020, when retail really wasn’t a possibility anymore, and we had found success in the contract realm. So, we just kind of like dug our heels in and said, you know, let’s give this a go.”

As with anything Huff and Beed do, the nonchalant phrase “give this a go” translates into working hard and

finding success. Today, instead of selling furniture from Hutch storefronts, Hutch Contract is creating and procuring furniture for spaces around the nation, as well as some of the most recognizable commercial spaces in Omaha: Barnato, Steelhouse Omaha and Ervin & Smith.

Still, running a business is not smooth sailing, but Huff, who is co-founder and CEO while Beed is co-founder and installation director, keeps in mind that his clients deserve the best.

“There’s not always a great way out, but there’s always a way to treat people with respect and I think that’s so important in business,” Huff said. “I’ve worked alongside of others, and had clients and vendors, that you just will notice and think, wow, that’s really inspiring.”

These days, Hutch Contract is located in Millwork Commons and Huff has scaled back on the community service side. He stated that it’s been hard for him, because volunteering is what he loves. Focusing on the business, however, has been good for him, and Hutch.

“I think that’s actually what I’m most proud of, is being able to know what’s best for me personally, or figuring out what’s best for me personally, and for the business, and be able to focus on one thing and really nurture that, because that doesn’t come naturally to me,” Huff said.

He said Hutch Contract has grown more than 20% each year it has been in business, and he hopes to continue that growth in the future.

“We have our operations down,” Huff said. “We have a fantastic team, and we’re excited for the future.”

GYM VENTURE OFFERS SUSTAINABLE FITNESS FOR AN ACTIVE LIFE

First Row Fitness’s business name has a double meaning, owner Carrie McDonald said.

“When you’re in the first row, you have the best view, the best seats in the house, and then also we were the first rowing studio in the OmahaCouncil Bluffs metro area,” McDonald explained.

First Row Fitness aims to make exercise fun and accessible in a non-intimidating environment, especially for older adults and clients new to working out, McDonald said. The business offers personal training and lifestyle coaching in addition to a cohort of 30- to 45-minute group fitness classes that include rowing, yoga and Pilates. Certified personal trainers lead the fitness classes and yoga classes are led by experienced registered yoga teachers.

McDonald’s own broad fitness experience includes work in physiotherapy, as a chiropractic assistant, in various roles for the Council Bluffs

YMCA and teaching classes at Iowa Western Community College. She’s also worked at a senior center, contracting for a company called Fitness City that specialized in corporate fitness, and provided personal training sessions to private clients.

She was already in her 40s when she first conceived of opening her own fitness business.

“At the time I was a physiotherapist and a chiropractic assistant, and one of the things I noticed is that the people coming into the chiropractor, the majority of them, were on such a routine of (seeking medical help) because they were always in such discomfort,” she said. “You could tell that they weren’t people who were physical; they tended to be overweight, middleaged, suffering from a lot of back pain. They would get turned over to me for the physiotherapy side, which included TENS units, ultrasounds and (treatments) like that.”

A better way

McDonald realized that pain and discomfort that comes with aging could be mitigated or even prevented in many people.

“Shortly after the beginning of the year in 2010, I was in a ‘body pump’ class and it just hit me: This is the way, this is how you keep people out of doctor’s offices,” she said. “(Exercise) is how they can live a better life.”

McDonald pursued additional credentialing in group fitness, personal training, nutrition and yoga.

“I was working full time and spent every waking moment learning everything I could,” she said.

“During that time, I also had written a business plan out… I saw a really good fitness business model that would help people who felt uncomfortable in a gym, needed a little extra hands-on, more of a personal approach. I decided I needed to control every aspect of my vision and worked toward making that a reality.”

First Row Fitness opened its doors nine years ago on June 1 and the business took off quickly.

“I remember thinking, ‘I can’t believe how incredibly easy this is going for owning a business.’ Running everything from the time I wake up until I lay down at night, everything was going so smoothly. I just could not believe how incredibly easy this actually was,” she said. “It was a lot of hours, but when you love what you do, it feels very different.”

Adapting and moving forward

McDonald’s perspective changed radically with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which hit the fitness industry hard.

“I had to learn how to adapt and move forward very quickly,” she said. “I’m someone who really doesn’t like being on film. I had to make videos and upload those on YouTube, and then later on I was able to upload them into our Wellness Living platform … I also taught all classes and did all personal training for anyone who was willing to stick that out and do it that way. It was just one adaptation after another.”

In 2021, McDonald invested in a business coach to help her clarify her business model and determine how to move forward.

“That is when I rebuilt First Row into what it is today, with the help of my staff,” she said. “I hired the right people and have had long-term staff members, really key people. I’m not the hero in the story, it was them.

“I think probably my biggest lesson was learning to be a little bit more flexible, learning to teach the staff expectations and then trusting that they know exactly what is needed and that you can walk away and the place isn’t going to burn down. I know that sounds funny but when you’re a little bit on the controlling side that is a hard one. I now have a little bit more elbow room and freedom because I have allowed other people to actually step up to the plate and share their gift.”

EVENT scene

Boys Town Booster Banquet

ANNUAL EVENT SHINES WITH ATHLETICISM AND CHARACTER

Supporters of Boys Town student-athletes came together on May 1 at A View West Shores in Waterloo, Nebraska, for a night of fun and fundraising.

The 58th annual event started with a VIP party at which attendees could mingle, sip a beverage and eat hors d’oeuvres, and have a photo taken with Olympian Nancy Kerrigan. Following the cocktail hour, guests moved into the main event space for a dual-entree dinner of champagne chicken and beef tenderloin with roasted potatoes and green beans, a silent auction and the program.

The event program started at 6:45 p.m. with the introduction of youth athletic awards. Lily Perrett and Ladainian Blackwell received the Competing With Character Awards, while Molly McMahon and Nyree Potent-Brown won the Athlete of the Year Awards.

Inducted into the Boys Town Alumni Sports Hall of Fame this year were Fransisco, Phillip and Carlos Gonzales — three of five brothers who resided at Boys Town and were standout wrestlers during their time there. All three attained successful careers and are now retired; Fransisco and Carlos eventually coached youth wrestling.

Following the awards presentation, emcee Travis Justice led the “Raise the Paddle” fundraiser, with Booster supporters pledging donations ranging from $100 to $10,000 before Kerrigan gave the keynote speech. Funds raised all go towards sports equipment, uniforms and other necessities to help support student-athletes on the field, track and pitch.

The 59th annual Boys Town Booster Banquet is scheduled for May 7, 2026, at A View West Shores.

ZAC TRIEMERT

EDUCATION: UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN (MICROBIOLOGY); HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY, EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

(MASTER’S DEGREE, BREWING AND DISTILLING)

MBJ’s Fab 50 is a profile series highlighting remarkable individuals shaping our business and nonprofit communities.

What’ll you have? WHATEVER THE PUBLIC IS THIRSTY FOR, ZAC TRIEMERT HAS THEM COVERED

Looking back on his college years, Zac Triemert laughingly refers to himself as “pre-med, the geeky president of the microbiology club on campus.” What he will also tell you is it was during this time that the head of a local brewery came to speak to the group showing club members other ways to apply their degree.

“I said, ‘I’m doing that. That sounds like more fun,’” said Triemert. “My mom was pretty disappointed when I shifted from medical school to making beer and liquor, but she got over it when I started making vodka.”

Triemert made believers out of many more people than just his mom, too. Over a 26-year career as a commercial brewer and distiller, he founded Lucky Bucket Brewery and Cut Spike Distillery in 2007 and Brickway Brewery and Distillery in 2013. The latter venture, located in Omaha’s Old Market, is now the largest distillery in Nebraska.

None of this could have been anticipated nor taken for granted when he started. By the time he completed his education, craft brewing had yet to enjoy the explosion that would make IPAs a household word. This made every step of his professional journey something of a long shot, especially to do it in Omaha. In fact, he couldn’t

even find a job in the beer industry upon graduating from the University of Wisconsin.

“I tried to get a job in a brewery, but that was 1997 when there were only about 800 breweries in the country,” he said. “I couldn’t find a brewing job to save my life.”

Instead, he started his professional career with Cargill, which moved him to Memphis and then to Omaha. Shortly into his time in Omaha, his father took ill with pancreatic cancer.

“I was able to use FMLA to go back to Minneapolis where he was and do his hospice care for him,” he said. “I mean, it was the down and dirty stuff, like doing his IVs, giving him injections every day for pain. It was real,” he said, “and you know, after he passed away, I realized that that was the most beautiful and tragic thing that I’ve ever been through.

“In his honor, at Christmas that year, I did a home brew called Jerry’s Pale Ale. I gave everybody in the family two bottles, one to drink and one to save. Some people laughed, some people cried and I realized I’d changed the experience with that beer. We were celebrating all of the good times with my dad and we were commiserating over how fragile life really is, and we were doing it over that beer.”

The Yuletide experience renewed Triemert’s passion for the craft and by New

I’m just a guy who loves making beer and I love making whiskey and love making vodka. I get to do the fun stuff.

Year’s he was back on the trail of a job in brewing, eventually landing with Upstream Brewing in Omaha in 2001 where he’d serve as head brewer.

“While I was head brewer there, I learned about this beautiful brown liquid called whiskey,” he said. “I fell in love with it right away and realized that there were no distilleries in the state of Nebraska. Not one. I wanted to be Nebraska’s first distillery but I realized I didn’t know anything about distilling.”

Triemert packed his bags for Scotland and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, where he earned a master’s degree in brewing and distilling over the course of a year.

“It was cool. Like, there were 27 people in the program from 13 different countries and they were all there to learn how to make beer,” he said. “I’d already been a commercial brewer for the last five years and so I went there to learn how to make whiskey. I had the university distillery to myself for the entire year. That was a badass experience.”

Armed with this new knowledge, Triemert came back to Omaha in 2006 looking to open the state’s first distillery since before Prohibition. He discovered one big problem: Nebraska still had some antiquated laws on the books that prohibited building a distillery. He dug into the process of updating the statute, which he did in collaboration with other interested parties, to write a craft distilling bill, adopted in 2007. The bill allowed for the creation of micro-distillery licenses, granting manufacture of up to 10,000 gallons of craft spirits annually and the ability to retail the spirits on-site.

The bill became law in 2008, the same year Cut Spike opened its doors, and has been expanded as recently as April of this year to allow breweries and distilleries to expand their businesses into more owned production and retail locations.

“I’d never done anything political in my life,” he said. “I learned how to get a bill written. I learned how to get a bill introduced, passed through the legislature, and I worked all the channels.”

All in all, it’s been a fun and satisfying ride for the would-be doctor who still revels in the opportunity to produce something of quality for people to gather around in times both celebratory and somber.

FIVE FASCINATING FACTS

MY FAVORITE BEER OF ALL THE ONES WE PRODUCE IS I KIND OF TEETER-TOTTER BETWEEN THE LUCKY BUCKET LAGER AND BRICKWAY’S OMAHA STYLEE IPA.

THE THING I LEARNED ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS WHILE GETTING THE CRAFT DISTILLERY LAW CHANGED IS IT’S ACTUALLY KIND OF FUNNY HOW EASY IT IS WHEN THE BILL YOU’RE WORKING WITH CONCERNS LIQUOR. EVERYBODY WANTS TO SAY YES TO THAT.

MY PREFERRED CATEGORY OF WHISKEY IS I AM AN AMERICAN SINGLE MALT GUY.

THE SECRET TO KEEPING MULTIPLE BREWERIES AND DISTILLERIES GOING AT ONCE IS I HAVE A KICKASS STAFF. MY HEAD BREWER’S CRUSHING IT, MY CONTROLLER’S CRUSHING IT, EACH OF THE MANAGERS AT EACH OF OUR TAP ROOMS ARE CRUSHING IT. THEY MAKE MY JOB PRETTY EASY.

ONE THING I’M VERY PROUD TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IS IN 2024, WE LAUNCHED JERRY’S PALE ALE COMMERCIALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. LITERALLY 24 YEARS AFTER MY DAD PASSED AWAY, WE FINALLY GOT HIS BEER DONE COMMERCIALLY.

vodka. I get to do the fun stuff,” he said. “If you look at every package that we make, be it Brickway, Lucky Bucket or Cut Spike, on every single package it says ‘Celebrate, Commiserate, Commemorate.’ That’s why we do what we do.”

Championing Mental Health and Well-Being SPONSORED content

For Susan Coughlin, nurse care manager for behavioral health at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE), helping members navigate their mental health benefits is more than a job – it’s a passion.

“I reach out to our members who’ve had admission to an inpatient level of care,” Coughlin said. “My passion lies in being support for whatever they need. I’m a safe person they can talk to in a nonjudgemental format.”

In 2024, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Division of Behavioral Health reported that 23,166 Nebraskans received community-based behavioral health services. At BCBSNE, nurse care managers like Coughlin play a critical role in connecting members with the resources they need to support their mental well-being.

The services provided by BCBSNE’s Mental and Behavioral Health Care team come at no cost to members and are a key part of the company’s mission to champion health and well-being in all aspects of life.

Taking a holistic approach, nurses guide members through lifestyle changes, stress management techniques and coping strategies. In addition, they assess social determinants of health to ensure members can get the care they need when they need it.

“We’re able to impact the lives of so many of our members,” Coughlin said. “I have one member I’ve been working with since July of 2024. Since we’ve started working together, I’ve helped them explore multiple approaches for care, found resources and provided ideas to help them through the difficult path they were navigating.”

This team collaborates to support members and their families with mental and behavioral health needs – helping them navigate the health care system to find the right care through health plan benefits, employee assistance programs and community resources.

“I provide ideas on day-to-day management of their illness,” Coughlin said, “encourage development and maintain a support network for them. I am someone on the other end of the phone who cares enough to really listen to them.”

To further enhance access to these resources, BCBSNE offers the Wellframe app. This app provides a supportive starting point for accessing tools and resources that can guide them on their mental health journey.

For Coughlin, one resource stands out above the rest: outpatient therapy.

“It’s the common thread that helps people move their mental health journey forward in a meaningful way,” she said. “Sometimes the steps to better mental health aren’t easy. But I’m able to give the members I talk to a chance to champion their own health – to feel like they’ll be okay and that they’ll get there.”

Coughlin said that staying focused on her passion for helping others is essential to guiding members forward on their health and well-being journey.

“We all have the power to be a positive force in someone’s life,” Coughlin said. “Listening without speaking and allowing silence in a conversation is powerful. Take time for yourself every day to recharge and reconnect with yourself.”

U.S. Exceptionalism is Growing

We continue to balk at the idea that the days of U.S. stock market outperformance are over and that investors are better off overseas.

In our opinion, there isn’t much to this thesis other than lower valuations and recent U.S. dollar weakness. Sure, currency strength has contributed to this outperformance but even without it, the U.S. has reigned supreme. Plus, we’re not ready to declare that recent U.S. dollar weakness is the new normal. For context, the U.S. dollar index is a touch below where it was in September 2024 but remains well above its longer-term range.

Rather, we believe that the outperformance of U.S. equities is structural. In other words, it’s not temporary or cyclical. When we look overseas, we see stock markets that have little exposure to the most dynamic and fastest-growing part of the global economy — the digital economy. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. The U.S. invented the semiconductor, the PC, the internet, cloud computing and the transformer, which is the foundation of the AI revolution. We have a hotbed of innovation in Silicon Valley that attracts some of the sharpest minds in business and technology. This is not what we see overseas. These stock markets largely consist of banks and industrials which are highly cyclical, competitive and sensitive to interest rates. Technology represents only 8% of the MSCI World ex USA Index, which is a popular benchmark of international stocks. This compares to about 31% for the S&P 500.

The idea that capital is permanently fleeing the U.S. due to the trade war doesn’t hold much water, in our opinion. Capital goes to where it is treated best. Not only have U.S. firms grown earnings much faster than peers overseas but our companies earn the highest returns on equity (ROE). What’s particularly interesting is that this is not just a function of our technology industry. It’s true for every sector, whether industrials, health care or even energy. As the chart above shows, our advantage isn’t getting smaller — it’s growing. We’ve gone from earning about 3.5% higher return on equity versus international firms to 9%. Considering our meaningful lead in AI over every

country other than China, we believe this will only expand further.

Yes, international stocks are cheap but they’re cheap for a reason. We believe that they’ll stay cheap, too.

NICOLE KONEN

Bio:

With a wide range of professional and community service achievements under her belt, Nicole “Nickie” Konen, attorney with Koley Jessen, is a rising star in the business community. A graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and UN College of Law, she is a two-time Best Lawyers: One to Watch Recipient and a designated Super Lawyers Rising Star for 11 years running. An expert in mergers and acquisitions, private investment and business succession transactions, Konen is equally passionate about her community, serving on the Papillion-La Vista Community Schools Foundation and providing legal counsel to various nonprofit organizations in Omaha.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

I most enjoy working with amazing people — successful clients, sharp colleagues, supportive staff and the young attorneys I mentor. Partnering with clients to achieve their goals, collaborating with my team and guiding new talent makes every day rewarding.

As a mom and busy professional, what steps do you take to keep your life in balance?

I’ve learned that no single day is perfectly balanced but I aim for overall balance over time. I prioritize what matters most: family, key client needs and my well-being. I carve out time for my kids and husband — morning routines, sports and activities, bedtime stories and date nights — staying fully present when I’m not at work.

At work, I concentrate on high-impact tasks like guiding clients through complex deals and mentoring associates while delegating less critical items. Small self-care moments, such as a quick walk, help me recharge. By keeping priorities clear, I maintain a sustainable rhythm that works long-term.

What led you to the legal field?

I was drawn to the legal field by my passion for helping business clients navigate complex challenges with clear, practical advice. I gravitated toward mergers and acquisitions because it lets me partner closely with clients during their most transformative moments.

What is something a mentor told you that has been essential to your career?

One of my most influential mentors, Paul Halbur, recently passed away. He had dozens of “Paul-isms” but one essential

piece of advice was, “Be the captain of your own ship.” In short, he emphasized taking ownership of every aspect of work and life. This advice has guided me to be proactive in serving clients and developing young attorneys while taking responsibility for outcomes. It’s also shaped how I balance my roles as a mom and professional, prioritizing what matters most and steering my path with confidence.

What nonprofit work is close to your heart and why?

I’ve been privileged to serve as legal counsel for many nonprofits in our community but at this stage in life my heart lies with my role on the PLCS Foundation board, which enhances educational opportunities for Papillion-LaVista students. It’s critically important to support our students,

MIDLANDS BUSINESS JOURNAL

teachers, schools and community in providing a quality, wellrounded education. Education is a powerful equalizer and I’m passionate about ensuring programs and resources are available so every student can thrive.

What is your favorite way to spend a sunny Saturday in Omaha?

On a sunny Saturday in Omaha, if I’m not cheering at my kids’ sports events, I love spending the day outdoors with my family. We enjoy riding bikes or fishing at Prairie Queen, hiking at Fontenelle Forest — another charity very dear to my heart — or visiting Platte River State Park. These outings let us unplug, recharge and connect as a family.
