Nick is joining WWS after most recently serving at U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, where he was responsible for air-sea rescue and law enforcement operations across the Caribbean. He served at the forefront of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in September 2017. Commissioned in 2005 as a graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy, he completed Naval flight training in 2007 and has amassed nearly 3,000 flight hours as an MH-65 helicopter instructor pilot and Rotary Wing Air Intercept mission commander ensuring air sovereignty around the nation’s capital and the President of the United States. Following graduation, Nick looks forward to flying a desk in the Office of Congressional Affairs or as a DHS policy and program reviewer before returning to leadership roles at a Coast Guard Air Station. Nick and his wife, Lauren, look forward to introducing their two young daughters, Jolene and Scarlett, to the three other seasons while in Princeton. They all spent the summer enjoying reliable electricity and potable water services as well as spending time with family and friends in Nick’s home state of Maryland.
