His passion for the human services sector began at Hireup, an online platform that connects individuals with disabilities to support workers, fostering independence, choice, and control.

Nick holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and International Business from Loyola University Chicago and a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Illinois State University.

Outside of his professional life, Nick is a dedicated father to his almost five-year-old son, with whom he enjoys various activities, such as visiting the beach, riding public transportation, and exploring museums. He embraces the outdoors, often spending weekends swimming, camping, and hiking. Although he has a deep love for USA sports, he has been making efforts to immerse himself in Australian sports over the past decade.
