We hope you have the chance soon to meet our new Director of Development, Jacob Spilker. Jacob joined the NLOM team as Director of Development in January.
Jacob’s been connected to NLOM most of his life now. He started as a camper at Taste of Camp with his father, attended camp all through school, then served on the Summer Ministry Team for four years before joining the year-round team as Program Specialist in 2015.
At that point, he had the opportunity to join the team at Camp Tomah Shinga near Junction City, Kan. He served as Associate Director, then Executive Director there from 2016 to 2022. In 2022, Jacob began serving his alma mater, Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kan. as Vice President for Advancement, where he served until coming back to NLOM.
Jacob grew up in Lincoln, Neb., and met his wife, Megan, at camp. He’s finishing his Master’s Degree in Nonprofit Leadership with a concentration in Philanthropy & Resource Development from the University of Denver.
You’ll hardly ever find Jacob sitting still. He loves working out, cycling, playing sports (soccer and volleyball are his favorites), and cheering on the Huskers.
Jacob would love to meet up for a stroll around your neighborhood, or a friendly game of pickleball. Or if you’d rather sit down for coffee, he’ll slow down for you!
