Who We Are
Architecture Firm
Founded in 1978 as Erickson Schulz Architects, our firm was established to bring superior architectural designs of a modest scope to Nebraska. In 1991, Scott Sullivan, NCARB, became a principal, at which time our company name changed to Erickson Sullivan Architects. Since then, we have grown into a medium-sized architectural corporation, expanding beyond Nebraska, and now licensed to practice in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Florida.
As of January 2024, Erickson Sullivan Architects is led by Principals Jennifer Rohn, Trevor Hull, and Principal Emeritus Scott Sullivan. Their extensive experience, success, and commitment have been invaluable to Erickson Sullivan Architects’ portfolio development.
Principal Leadership

Principal
Jennifer Rohn, Principal, has been at Erickson Sullivan Architects (ESA) for 29 years. She was born and raised in Lincoln, NE, and attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, earning a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies with an emphasis on Interior Design. She was hired at ESA to be an interior designer but a few years later was leading Foodlines. Additionally, Jen has been a member of Foodservice Consultants Society International since 2013.
She and her husband, Curt, have a furbaby, a sheepadoodle, named Jarvis.
Fun fact: When Jen was eight years old, she wanted to be a dolphin trainer and sell Tupperware as a side hustle. Sidenote, the fun facts were added to the website so she could share this tidbit about herself.
Trevor Hull

Trevor, originally from Fremont, NE, joined Erickson Sullivan Architects (ESA) 24 years ago and is now an Associate Principal. He earned a master’s in architecture from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and is licensed in Nebraska. His extensive experience in all design and construction phases results in outstanding project management.
Trevor and his wife Cindy have two children, Trenton and Abby.
Fun fact: Trevor and his family enjoy playing card games together for money. It’s a good thing he has an architectural career to fall back on as he loses a lot of nickels and dimes to his children.

He joined Erickson Schultz Architects in 1988 and became a partner in 1991, the firm being re-branded as Erickson Sullivan Architects.

While studying at UNL, Meagan helped teach classes as an assistant for the architectural drawing class at UNL. In her free time, Meagan enjoys drawing, photography, and reading. After graduation, she looks forward to traveling and catching up on all of the sleep she has missed!
Fun fact: Meagan loves exploring, but has NO sense of direction! She’s gotten lost multiple times while driving through Nebraskan landscapes, and attributes her survival solely to the grid street pattern.
Courtney Klimm
Production Coordinator
Courtney joined our firm in 2016 after graduating from Metropolitan Community College in Omaha with an associate degree in architectural drafting. She has quickly become an integral part of our team, working on both architectural and foodservice projects.
Courtney was married to her husband, Noah, twice in 2020, thanks to COVID-19. She likes to spend her free time reading a good book and staying active playing volleyball or running half marathons.
Fun fact: Courtney’s maternal grandmother is from South Korea. Although she has never been, it is on top of her travel to do list. Her favorite Korean dish is Miyeok Guk, or Seaweed Soup. Don’t knock it until you try it!
Sahara Johnson
Production Associate / Interior Designer
Sahara received her Bachelor’s in Interior Design from Texas Tech University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. Her previous experience includes specialization in healthcare and church commercial design, commercial and residential furniture design, residential home design, and commercial project management of multi-family complexes and even a luxury waterfront hotel. Sahara is currently pursuing her NCIDQ licensure, and has previously been certified as an LEED Green Associate.
Outside of work, Sahara enjoys spending time with her puppy, Emmy. She also likes to stay as active as possible – whether that means going to the gym and fitness studios during the winter, or riding bikes, running, and hiking outdoors during the summer.
Fun fact: Sahara is originally from Amarillo, TX and joined the Marine Corps in 2009. During her time in the military, she was a Signals Intelligence Analyst and Indonesian Linguist, and got the opportunity to live and travel all over the world. This instilled in her an insatiable love of travel and curiosity about other cultures!
Lee Roberts
Lee is Foodlines’ newest member and comes to us from Kansas City with 30+ years of architectural and foodservice design experience. He also has a solid background in drafting, specification preparation, and project management. We are excited to have him on our team!
Lee enjoys spending time with his two sons, Hunter and Mason, drinking a good craft beer, and watching all kinds of sports.
Fun Fact: Lee is fully prepared for a zombie apocalypse as he is a fan of the Zombieland movies. Bring him a twinkie, and you might get some free design work out of him.
Katherine White
Office Manager
Katherine has a Bachelor of Music from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. This passion led to her positions as an Executive Coordinator with a local symphony and Executive Assistant with a business association.

Katherine enjoys cycling, thrift shopping, and can always be found with an iced coffee in-hand. When she is not working, she’s playing and cuddling with her two dogs, Kora and Ezra.
Fun fact: While working at a bike shop, Scott Frost came in and called her out for wearing a Michigan State hat. Then, he gave her a Nebraska football hat to replace it with.
