About me
Benny joined ROAM in 2018, and served as the Special Projects and Business Manager working for both Heartland Bike Share and BikeLNK prior to becoming Executive Director of Heartland Bike Share (and later ROAM CEO) in 2019. He launched Valentine Bike Share in 2020 in rural Nebraska. In his time since becoming ROAM CEO, Benny has prioritized diversifying ROAM’s board and staff, fostered lasting partnerships with city departments and city officials, led an organizational restructure, relaunched the flagship operation as entirely electric, created a partnership with Omaha Metro Transit, ratified a City of Omaha ordinance for bike share operation, consciously expanded bike share to underserved communities in the Omaha Metro and Council Bluffs, Iowa, and led the introduction of LB1250 to the Nebraska State Legislature in 2024, which was one of the first and only bike share specific state legislation bills in the country.
