Megan made the move to the private sector in late 2020 following a fifteen-year career in public safety communications at the City of Lincoln and UNL Police Departments. She also spent a considerable amount of time working on 911-related issues at the national level.
Megan’s experience completing several home renovations alongside family, and passion for project management, strategic planning, & organizational behavior fueled the decision to open a business focused on trade work.
On January 1, 2021, Megan opened Mod Wattage Electric- a company with core beliefs in “doing trade work differently than it’s always been done.” Mod Wattage is focused on developing the MODern Employee, providing service for the MODern Customer, and finding MODern solutions for traditional electrical concepts.
Megan has two adult daughters, a japanese chin, and a Boxer named Jetson who also happens to be the honorary shop dog. She holds a Master of Arts in Management from Doane University, and spends free time crafting, gardening, and scouring the earth for Mid-Century MODern treasures.
