Everyday Life Podcast feat. John & Sherryl – Bright Dais Ahead
Meet the Bright Dais Ahead family – John, Sherryl, and their twins – BRIGHTon and DAISy (get it? – Bright Dais). They chose to leave suburbia and the corporate world to live life differently. After careers at Fortune 500 companies, they traded their house and thriving business for simpler living, richer education, closer family relationships, and unique adventures. Bright Dais Ahead is more than a clever name. It is their goal to inspire others to live like the best days ahead and not behind.
Join us as they share about being on the road as a full-time RV family, and how that Everyday Life with Jesus looks.
Their life verse:
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Here’s their story:
About Sherryl Nens – the Wife, the Mom and More…
To describe Sherryl, she is a Wife, Mom, Sister, entrepreneur, marketer, self-proclaimed foodie, and former tomboy. Having attended three different colleges, traveled a year with Up With People (Cast D ’96), and lived at least 18 addresses in her life, she loves to travel. She grew up knowing how to work on cars, handle a firearm, and downhill ski. Her career was marketing for both Ford and Bushnell before owning a commercial cleaning business.
She says she has kissed a ton of frogs until she found her prince at age 35. She and John married 8 years ago. During their marriage, they have experienced many highs and a few bumps in the road including; fertility issues, failed adoptions, multiple IVF attempts, pre-mature twins with a six-week NICU stay, starting a new business, and now living 24/7 in a tiny space. Before becoming a mom to twin girls, she got to learn, and grow by being a stepmother to her two stepdaughters, Alyssa and Caroline. My A and C daughters taught me selflessness, acceptance, and love before becoming a mom to twins.
About John Nens – The Husband, the Dad, and More…
Self-proclaimed “Do-It-Again Dad”. John is not only head of the Nens Family, but dad to four beautiful girls – his A, B, C, D daughters. He is a marketing expert and worked in Brand Licensing for most of his career at Ford and Hallmark. John, or “Jeff”, “Jeffie” and “Brother” as he is called by his family, is from Terre Haute, Indiana.
John’s oldest daughters are Alyssa (29) and Caroline (25), with their mother, Diane. After the divorce, he made his #1 priority to always be there for Alyssa and Caroline. He is a great example of how-to co-parent. John helped open their business, Office Pride. By day he worked in the corporate world and then worked late into the night to get our business off the ground. He is a hard worker and Sherryl says, “the rock of our family.” While he won’t brag, this guy has the pipes and can sing! He also is an extremely talented gardener. Now, he is learning a new role as the home school teacher to their twin daughters.
He is not only the navigator on this journey but is the navigator in their family’s life! He steers them on our finances, their walk of faith, and will be the captain of the Super Duty pulling their 40 foot home.
