Celebrating two decades in the industry with NFM (Nebraska Furniture Mart) in 2022, Mr. Boldt joined the Omaha-based company as a laborer. Continually forging a path toward success with an organization that possessed similar values as his, he took advantage of the opportunities presented to him to learn as much about the business as possible.

Nebraska Furniture Mart, as originally named, was founded by Rose Blumkin in 1937 in the basement of her husband's pawn shop in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1983, investor Warren Buffett purchased a majority interest in NFM and made it part of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies. Today, NFM is one of the nation's largest home furnishings retailers, selling furniture, flooring, appliances and electronics. NFM currently has locations in Omaha, Nebraska, Des Moines, Iowa, Kansas City, Kansas and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas with a planned fifth location in Cedar Park, Texas, a suburb of Austin.

In his present role, Mr. Boldt is responsible for leading a team and a vision that encompasses more than 4,700 employees. Proud to be a part of a culture that is always evolving, he looks forward to future success as he aims to continue expanding the footprint of the company and improving the lives of others across the nation.
Mr. Boldt's greatest professional achievement has been in his ability to lead in an environment where people feel confident in coming to work. Constantly inspired by the fact that NFM has never laid off a single employee in 85 years in business, the company has survived a world war, a depression, multiple recessions, and a pandemic, speaking volumes about its integrity.
