Last week, Immediate Past President Randy Bretz introduced our newest member Jeff Dostal as our newest Rotarian.
Jeff is a native of Norfolk NE and a 1986 graduate of WSC. After 4 years of working in the juvenile probation field in Southern California, Jeff returned to Nebraska in 1991 making Lincoln his home. After a brief stop in the non-profit world, he began a successful sales career at KLIN radio. After 13 years, Jeff and a partner started their marketing consulting firm, Marketing Firepower. In 2016, Jeff was asked to head up the radio sales team at Z92. After commuting from Lincoln to Omaha for 3 years, Jeff chose to continue his career back in Lincoln and is currently the Director of Market Growth for Leadership Resources.
In 2019, Jeff celebrated 25 years of marriage to his bride Kim. Together they have four wonderful children. Two girls and two boys. Brianna is currently in her second year as a special ed teacher at Everett Elementary. Bailey is newly married and beginning her masters program at UNL. Will is a 3rd year architectural student at UNL and Jacob is entering his Sophomore year at Pius X. Kim is an RN at Bryan hospital.
