Nick grew up in Chicago & went to college in Chicago. After his dad had a major health scare, Nick decided to only apply to business schools in Chicago. Because of Nick's unique background in oil & gas though, he wasn't sure what his chances would be at a place like Booth or Kellogg. Fortunately, a group called Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) gave him the nudge and gave him the support that he needed to put together an unstoppable application.
