Toby Nelson
Original Founder/Senior Partner
Toby oversees our production, financial and HR departments. In his free time, he might write you a limerick, haiku, free verse, or a nonsense song. He’s also really good at crossword puzzles.
Aaron Nelson
Sales Manager/Partner
Aaron joined Toby as a partner in Nelson Contracting at the ripe old age of 17 and has been trying to figure out what happened ever since. Today, he’s the guy in charge of growing our roofing company through marketing and sales. When he’s not glued to his phone, he enjoys listening to classical music, drinking obscene quantities of coffee, fishing, and reading almost anything except the directions.
Anna Nelson
Office Manager
There’s a good chance you’ll hear Anna’s cheery voice if you call us, and an even better chance she’ll be able to help you with whatever you’re calling about. Not only that, but she manages our social media pages and oversees all aspects of our day to day office operations too! In her free time, Anna enjoys running, shopping, and spending time with friends and family.
Art Dobrusky
Sales Representative
Art came on board with us in 2008. Until 2018 he oversaw our day to day roofing operation full time, and is now a rockstar sales representative, holding every sales record in our company history. When the work’s all done, and it’s time to relax, Art likes fishing, camping, hanging out with friends and family, and making a mean Habanero jam.
Braxton Nelson
Lead Foreman
Braxton wakes up every morning just itching to get busy replacing, repairing, and installing roofs. Fortunately for him, he found a way to get paid for it. He oversees our roofing crew, completes repairs as needed and works on the sales side for us too. Braxton also enjoys fishing, hunting, goofing off in the skid-steer (he occasionally does useful things with it too. We think.) and spending time outdoors.
Jonny Geving
Roof Technician
Say hello to Nelson Contracting’s very own kilt-wearing, shingle-slinging, rubber-burning, Jonny Geving! Jonny has been a valued member of our team since 2015. When Jonny isn’t rocking his kilt on the roof, (last one up the ladder, first one down) he enjoys gaming, drag racing, and spending time with friends and family.
John Simpson
Roof Technician
This man among men has flowing blonde locks, and can usually be found absolutely killing it on a roof install. On the rare occasions, he’s not doing that, you may spot him emerging, rock-star-like from a billowing plume of smoke. He also likes gaming and has been with us since 2015.
Kurt Laws
Gutter Technician
Kurt’s been a part of both our roofing and gutter installation services in Lincoln, first coming aboard in 2014, and now spends most of his time over on the gutter side of things. When he’s not installing gutters, he likes playing with his kids, reading, and playing video games.
Travis Doane
Lead Gutter Supervisor
In his free time, Travis enjoys listening to music and playing guitar. He also likes to spend time outdoors hunting, fishing, camping and (we can only assume) tending to what is easily Nelson Contracting’s most awesome beard.
Jen Mansfield
Production Manager
Jen is our production guru, ensuring that all materials arrive on time, every time. Outside of work, Jen loves spending time with her 4 wonderful kiddos, going on bike rides, and like every good Nebraskan, watching the Huskers play football.

Austin Knepp
Roof Tech
Austin loves all things outdoors. His favorite activities are fishing with his in-laws and golfing with his dad and brothers. He also loves spending time with his wife and newborn son. He pretty much lives off of coffee, sushi, sunshine… and newborn snuggles obviously.
Jaiden Verhage
Sales Representative
When Jaiden isn’t helping our customers find the perfect fit for whatever they may need, he enjoys listening to music (best shower performer there ever was), hunting, fishing, and watching the Huskers (even when they break his heart). He also likes spending time with his family and being outdoors.
