He grew up in Carlinville, IL and later moved to Troy, IL, graduating from Triad High School in 2008. Nicholas was a proud Tiger, attending the University of Missouri-Columbia and graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in marketing in 2012. He was also a proud member of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

Nicholas has been serving as a Fleet Consultant for Enterprise Fleet Management since 2016 and has built a great community of friends and colleagues during his time with the company. Nicholas’ life was defined by loving those around him fiercely and taking care of his family with his whole heart. Ask anyone that knew him and they will tell you he lived life to the fullest. His personality filled every room he walked into and was a source of strength for many. He loved playing golf, learning about and enjoying whiskeys, being a fan of Harry Potter and spending his Sundays watching NFL Football. More than anything, spending time with his close friends and family brought light into Nicholas’ world. His smile will be greatly missed and his impact will last forever.
