About the Webmaster

The site webmaster and historian is Rob. A Lincoln native who lived beneath the flightpath of the Lincoln Airport much of his life has been fascinated with the Cold War, the Strategic Air Command and its role in Lincoln, Nebraska since a child.

Also interested in technology, Rob opened "The History of Lincoln Air Force Base" website in March 2000 when he was 14. Proceeding to contact and meet with base veterans, and learning how to research the website continued on (in one form or another).

Rob went on to school and focused on historical tourism. He interned at the National Park Service's Minuteman Missile National Historic Site in 2009 and went on to become the Site Supervisor of the Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site near Cooperstown, North Dakota in 2017.

In 2020, Rob published his book "A Mighty Force for Peace: A History of the Former Lincoln Air Force Base" that as of 2021 has entered it's second printing. In 2021, the book was awarded by the Nebraska Center for the Book for non-fiction military history.
