Nick is currently a part-time lecturer and Ph.D. student at Chapman University in Orange, California, where he will be starting the fourth semester in the Education and Leadership Studies Program. After graduating high school in 2002, Nick joined the United States Navy and served on active duty for 12 years as a Chief Information Systems Technician. While serving in multiple overseas tours and deployments, he pursued his Bachelors of Science in Sports and Health Science and took a leap of faith to follow his passion of helping others in the Navy Reserves. Upon separation from active duty service, he realized that he didn’t know himself really well so he utilized his Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to obtain a Masters in Leadership Development. Trying to navigate the civilian world, Nick struggled to find his calling and decided to recommence his active duty service as a recruiter. During his recruiter tour, he was mobilized to Djibouti, Africa, and immediately started his Ph.D. program upon arrival stateside. Nick is a diehard beach volleyball player, a student veteran advocate, and a passionate person who loves helping people find and connect with their heartfelt mission.
