Our Founding Committee and League Leadership include deep professional and volunteer experience in the state. Our people have coached youth in mountain biking (as well as other sports), hosted events for youth and adults, and volunteered in the non-profit sector for decades.
LEAGUE LEADERSHIP
Bree Campbell
League Director
Bree didn’t start mountain biking until she was in her mid-30s. A friend asked her to try a ride, and she has been hooked ever since! As a high school teacher and female mountain biker, Bree understands the need for more inclusive and fun spaces for kids that emphasizes being active and having fun. Bree is dedicated to getting more kids on bikes and raising the stoke for Nebraska!
Kari Ramsey
Assistant League Director, Director of Communications, Founding Committee
Kari was given a mountain bike during her college years as a mode of transportation but was blown away by the thrill she experienced the first time her wheels left the pavement and she found herself on singletrack. As a recreational mountain biker today, she loves chasing her two kids and husband on bikes, coaching in the Nebraska DEVO youth mountain biking program, and continuing to learn and grow on and off her bike. She spends her days as a freelance graphic designer and has enjoyed the opportunity to serve the Nebraska cycling community in any way she can. Kari looks forward to working hard to grow the sport of mountain biking for youth in Nebraska.

McNeill serves on the board of a handful of local non-profits, including the Bike Union and Coffee which serves foster youth aging out of the system. In the fall of 2017, McNeill took the reigns as CEO of IMBA. As an entrepreneur, leader, and advocate, McNeill is always eager to lend his mentorship to local efforts.
Julie Borer
Advisory Board Member

Julie is the founder of Prarie Bloom Cycling Club, a club that has carved out square footage in Eastern Nebraska to make all kinds of cycling accessible and inclusive to women. As a young kid, she understood and experienced the language and financial barriers to participating in sports and extracurricular activities. She uses this experience to create opportunities for kids to experience the joy of two wheels much earlier in their lives.
