Kevin Van Winkle

Omaha,NE

Summary

I was born and raised in Omaha and am intricately tied to our community. I engage with multiple networks to foster common affinity and mission. I am a teacher and coach at heart, and I look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow in a new and challenging endeavor. I have been happily married for over ten years and have three children that keep me busy when I am not at work. The common links between all positions I have held are relationships and leadership. That is what I am about.
