About Me

Some careers are built on numbers. Others on people. Mine has always been about both—understanding how strategy and trust, vision and relationships, can come together to shape something lasting.

After more than 30 years in corporate leadership, I created Young Capital Partners LLC to guide business owners and companies through moments that matter—expansion, transition, succession. These are the chapters that define a legacy, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside those who are writing theirs.

Throughout my career, I’ve assisted and led the success in deploying over $355 million in capital, built partnerships, and developed teams who delivered results. During the 23 plus years as an elected officer at Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., I had the opportunity to build the corporate development arm from the ground up to source and execute company acquisitions and strategic investments. Earlier roles at The Gallup Organization and Norwest Financial taught me how to listen closely, lead with clarity, and make decisions that hold up over time.

I earned my degree in Business Administration with a focus in Finance from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and completed an executive education and management fellow designation through the LIMRA Leadership Institute at the Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania.

I still live in Lincoln, Nebraska where I was raised, married to my best friend for almost 40 years, and where I’ve had the joy of watching my three children grow into adults who make me proud. I’m also entering the season of grandparenthood—a quiet reminder of how quickly time moves and how meaningful our choices can be.
