- As a Firefighter-EMT for 16 years, and now retired from the Fire Service, Nick started his career in Charleston, SC. Nick is also a former firefighter with Battalion 1 & 2, serving on Truck 1, Engine 4, and Engine 1 at St. Andrews Fire Department in Charleston, SC, City of Goose Creek FD assigned to Engine Co. 8 Engine Co. 12, & Engine Co. 11, Summerville, SC FD assigned to Engine Co. 2 of Battalion 2, Mason County EMS in Mason County, WV, assigned to Squads 27, 28, & 29, Valley FD in Mason County, WV, assigned to Engine Co. 1, Engine Co. 2, and Rescue Co. 6, eventually retiring as a Battalion Chief in Administration. Nick is also a former Crew Boss of the West Virginia Division of Forestry's Mountain State Hotshots (Elite Wildland Fire Suppression Crew). On January 12, 2010, Nick responded to the calls for help after the terrible earthquake that struck Haiti causing over 750,000 casualties in Port-Au-Prince in just 18 seconds. He was assigned as Assistant Team Leader to DMAT Team 2 and was part of the second, 40-person DMAT team sent to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti just 12 days after the quake. He was stationed at CDTI hospital, one of only two standing and operating hospitals in the capital. After going to work only an hour after they landed, Nick's team as well as 20 French Paramedics, Doctors, and Nurses from Paris treated over 3,000 patients the first 7 days, losing only 4 patients to trauma-related injuries. Nick's team was deployed for 10-14 days and has returned several times to help with other medical missions in the country. Nick is currently an Advisor for the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) "National Response Frameworks" and other Federal programs/projects including the Federal Interagency Operability Plan (FIOP), Community Emergency Response Teams, & Community Disaster Preparedness, He currently resides in North Charleston, South Carolina with his Wife and four children.
