Nic grew up in South Carolina and received his commission as United States Army officer on the same day he graduated from Furman University. After 8 years, 2 combat tours, and 4 trips overseas, Nic hung up his boots so he could bewilder college basketball fans in his dual attendance at Duke for a Masters of Public Policy and at UNC for a law degree. Though licensed in North Carolina, Nic is now based out of DC, where he provides Secure Supply Chain and Insider Threat consulting services for primarily defense and national security clients.
