Nick retired from the U. S. Army after 22 years of service. Following his Army service, he transitioned into the private sector as a contractor assisting in the training of the UAE military. He then worked as a Transition Assistance Specialist in the Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program. Next he worked for the non-profit organization Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Organization. After reaching his mid-life crisis, he took a sabbatical and hiked the 500 mile long Colorado Trail with his Son. His wife of 27 years met him at the trailhead and told him to get back to work, so he joined the Medicare Mentors team because his passion continues to be serving and assisting the Veterans and their Families. Nick is active with the community and continues to hike the trails in Colorado.
