Nick joined the U.S. Army after graduating from Gonzaga University in 2015. While in the Army, Nick was put into a position to teach, coach, and mentor many Soldiers who had never thought about money or personal finances before. Nick took it upon himself to learn as much about personal finances has he could to best support his Soldiers. After 7 years as an Officer, Nick left the Army to attend Willamette University for his MBA. While there, he began working with the Salvation Army in Salem, Oregon; where he found his true passion of helping the communities kids find purpose.
