Nancy grew up in Nebraska City and spent most of her childhood on horseback, as an accomplished and award-winning equestrian. She rode and showed competitively three gated horses all across the United States, winning numerous (way too many to count) trophies and ribbons, in prestigious horse shows like the American Royal in Kansas City, Lexington National in Kentucky, and many more.
Nancy graduated from Nebraska City high school, attended the University of Nebraska and graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in political science.
