Tamsen Butler

Tamsen Butler is a longtime Nebraska resident and frequent contributor to Omaha Magazine who has called the Cornhusker State home for more than two decades. Originally brought to Nebraska by Offutt AFB, she stayed for the community and quality of life — and covers Nebraska's destinations, culture, and hidden gems for Only In Your State with the warm, knowing perspective of a true adopted Nebraskan. Tamsen is an award-winning author with a writing career that spans nearly 20 years. And though she doesn’t use her psychology degree in a professional capacity, she finds that she uses it daily in everyday interactions. She spent years exploring everything Nebraska has to offer with two kiddos in tow, but nowadays as an empty nester, she enjoys exploring the art and culture scene with the occasional hike thrown in for good measure. Tamsen is a big fan of the Old Market area in Downtown Omaha but is also excited when it comes to exploring smaller towns in the state. She knows Nebraska has a lot of stories to tell, and she’s happy to search them out!
