Prior to founding Amherst Madison, Nick was hired first of 1,750 candidates as a firefighter for the City of Boise. Nick served the citizens of Boise from 2008-2012 as a certified Hazardous Materials Technician, Emergency Medical Technician, and Firefighter III, with certification to “swing up” to Driver Engineer. His experiences as a firefighter, in addition to his time volunteering as a student-athlete at Boise State, were instrumental in building a desire to give back to his community and serve others.

Having overcome significant personal struggles and loss growing up, Nick holds in high regard, leaders who maintain bravery in the face of opposition and see opportunity in times of challenge. Building upon a foundation of a life without limits, Nick continues to lead as an inspirational example, driven to create a positive impact on other’s potential through public speaking, mentoring, and personal development.

From winning state championships in high school, to defeating Oklahoma in the famous 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, to having safely extinguishing  dangerous structure fires with his crew, to current professional wins and acknowledgement with his company, Nick has found that nothing compares to the satisfaction of accomplishing big things with great people, that and his passion for excellence and drive for victory pushes him to conquer new frontiers while providing fulfilling careers and a dynamic culture for his agents.
