Hey! I'm Nick. I was born and raised in Bradenton, Florida, went to school in Philly, and am now starting my career in New York.
On the surface, I’m all over the place. So, the OCD in me created this website to put my mind at ease. Within it, you’ll find a digital log of everything I do, from books I’ve read to career work to latest training PRs.
Before diving in, here’s a little more about me:
My biggest red flag is that I’m the resident ‘Florida Man’ in my circles. For better or worse, I embody a lifestyle built on 20 years of beach, footie, and smoothies, which I often find to be quite juxtaposed by the cadence of downtown Manhattan. My parents didn’t attend college, so my big sister paved the way to higher-ed, which ultimately brought me to Penn Engineering.
While at Penn, I prioritized everything outside of the classroom. Through club leadership, I fostered community and professional development on campus. In more personal mentorship roles, I enabled first-gen students to achieve their goals. With my founding team at Popeye Labs, I helped create the world’s first auto-monitoring system for commercial vessels, backed by Penn’s VentureLabs.
I’m now entering my second year as a consultant at McKinsey & Co., where most of my work revolves around go-to-market strategy for software companies, including pricing, sales enablement, and tech commercialization. I do miss creating, and imagine I’ll return to the startup environment in the near future…
If I’m not on the job you’ll find me on the field, behind a piano, or off on an adventure. Sport, art, and travel are my go-to’s for breaking the corporate mold, and I spend far too little time on each. I also love to volunteer, lately with iMentor or New York SCORES.
I hope that you enjoy learning more about me and what I do. Don’t be afraid to reach out!
Career work, passion projects, volunteering…

If I’m not on the pitch or in the office, I’m probably thinking about the next journey to embark on… I like documenting them here!
