Meet the Team

Our group leaders, Nancy and Scott, have extensive experience working with the Omaha-based grief support organization Grief’s Journey. Together, they provide guidance, grace, and mentorship to students working through the journey of grief.


  • Born and raised in Omaha, Nancy has been blessed to be a stay-home-mom and wife for over 20 years. She has two sons, Mason - 21 (who died of cancer several years ago), and Reid - 16. While she has always had a passion for helping kids, the journey her family has taken due to the illness and loss of her son, Mason, fuels her drive to provide a safe and healthy place for teens to learn about and process grief. She has participated in grief support groups individually and with her family, worked as a co-facilitator of the teen group at Grief's Journey, and deeply wants to use her experience and understanding of grief to help others. In her R&R time, Nancy loves being outside, hanging out with friends and family, and playing with her dogs.

  • Scott is an Omaha native and a graduate of Westside High School and UNL. Scott and his wife Jill have been married for 28 years and have three older children (Ethan – 23, Mitchell – 22, and Libby – 19). Scott volunteered with Grief’s Journey for many years as a Grief Group Facilitator, specializing in teen grief support. Having experienced the loss of his father and two close friends as a teen himself, Scott has a special empathy for the struggle teens feel through the loss of a loved one at this age. In his spare time, Scott loves to golf, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
