Distinguished Army Veteran, Leading the Way for Reducing Veteran Suicide

Nick was a Ranger-qualified Army Officer leading Paratroopers with the 173rd Airborne Brigade for 27 months in Afghanistan combat zones.

Throughout his six years of military service, Nick earned two Bronze Stars and an Army Commendation Medal for Valor. As a Field Artillery Officer, he consistently outperformed his peers, ranking 1st among 50 officers in a top-tier Infantry Battalion.

His time in service drove the vision to start Stop Soldier Suicide, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on reducing the suicide rate among veterans.

Author

Nick’s passion for nonprofit fundraising on social networks has resulted in the co-creation of the new book One-Click to Give. 

The premise is simple: What would happen if nonprofits embraced social networks to not just raise funds for their mission, but using social media to build connections with supporters in a deeper and more meaningful way?
