Henry J. Cordes

Henry has been a journalist in Nebraska for more than four decades, beginning when he joined the Omaha World-Herald sports department months after graduating from Central High School in 1981. After earning a J-degree from UNO, he moved to news and spent decades as a legislative, public policy, politics, enterprise and investigative reporter for the paper. He’s never wanted to be anything but a reporter and still thinks it’s the best job on the planet. He also loves Omaha, spreadsheets, his wife and two grown daughters and playing hockey – not necessarily in that order.
