Nic is a 37‑year‑old North Florida native who grew up in Tallahassee with deep family roots stretching from Panama City to the district’s rural farming and fishing towns. A Rickards High IB graduate, Eagle Scout, six‑year Wallwood Scout Reservation staffer, and former Rickards drumline member who took the field with FAMU’s famed Marching 100, Nic forged lasting bonds within Tallahassee’s critical Black community and gained a firsthand appreciation of the region’s rich cultural mix.

He helped neighbors recover from the BP oil spill, Hurricane Michael, skyrocketing housing costs, and the pressures facing agriculture and the Gulf Coast seafood industry—those experiences fuel his commitment to practical, people‑first solutions.

For two decades, Nic has paired grassroots organizing with data‑driven strategy. He has run field and technology operations for Congressional and state senate campaigns across rural North Florida, then served as Political & Data Director for America Votes FL, coordinating statewide outreach for Obama 2012 and Crist 2014. A professional software and database product manager for 15 years working in California, St. Louis, NYC, and DC, he understands how social media algorithms and AI can help, or harm, ordinary Americans, and how to use this new technology to win over voters in a natural and relatable way.

Although a first‑time candidate, Nic’s national network of supporters are mobilized and fundraisers are planning events from Tallahassee and Panama City to Tampa, Miami, Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento. Locally, he leads the Tallahassee Democratic Party’s campaign operations, hosting town halls in Leon County and surrounding rural communities alongside former Congressman Allen Boyd.

Nic is running because this pivotal moment demands leaders who meet voters where they are, speak with empathy, and unite Floridians of every party against chaos, corruption, and the unconstitutional overreach of the current Trump administration. Married with two young children, he wants them, and every North Floridian, to inherit a country rooted in common sense, accountability, and opportunity for all.
