Tacheny
Tacheny relocated to Albuquerque about five years ago for her husband JT’s work. And though she enjoys the southwest she still wears her Nebraska Husker gear around proudly. While attending the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Tacheny earned a degree in music education. Now, she is a stay-at-home mom for her two boys Aodhan (November 2011) and Hugh (January 2014) as well as an aspiring children’s author.
