The Gregg Young Automotive Group has 12 locations across Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin, representing 12 different automotive brands. The Gregg Young Automotive Group is dedicated to finding, empowering, and creating an educated, motivated, and inspired team of employees that will go the extra mile for our customers every time, without fail. The Lucky Eleven Hospitality Group includes two restaurants: Salted Edge and Pivot Prime.Most recently I was at The Set Me Free Project (SMFP), a national nonprofit, specializing in counter human trafficking prevention education. Prior to SMFP, I spent 20 years at Union Pacific Railroad in several roles in human resources and marketing and sales. Before Union Pacific, I worked at A.G. Edwards and Sons, Inc.(now Wells Fargo) in mutual fund sales.I bring a unique skill set with over 20 years of experience at Fortune 150 companies and also experience in the nonprofit sector.In my free time, I love to run, camp, hike and spend time with my two rescue hounds (Linguine and Zucchini) and two chameleons (Cruz and Cosmo). I also operate my company called Sticky Tongue USA which I founded in June 2021.
