Nick has worked in the conservation sphere for three decades. For the past 15 years, he has served as Executive Director for Alaska Conservation Foundation, the Portland Parks Foundation, and Portland Audubon. At each organization, he adapted its business model to survive and thrive during times of change. No challenge has been greater and more fulfilling than adapting the culture of exclusive conservation groups to recognize and embrace real inclusiveness. Early in his career, he oversaw tourism operations for the National Park Service at the Grand Canyon and Denali. Nick received an MBA from Yale School of Management. Outside of work, Nick enjoys biking, running, paddling, making sawdust, and laughing with his family.
