Nick has been selling real estate for 20 years. In the past 4 years alone, his team’s sales jumped from 40 homes a year to over 400! Make sure you re-read that... He spent 12 years struggling to sell 40 homes a year and then his business TOOK OFF! Nick will talk about what changes occurred in his mindset and how he was able to grow so rapidly from what he learned! 

Nick also starred in the hit TV series “Waterfront House Hunting” on FYI. He shot episodes all over the country helping people find and buy their waterfront dreams! In the end, TV wasn’t Nick’s true passion- building a real estate team was. He turned down a lucrative offer that included a second and third season of the show and came back to Maryland with a renewed passion. By hiring talented people and giving them the runway to succeed, his team has really taken off! Now ranked as the #1 Group in all of Maryland and DC, his team is constantly striving for more. 

When he isn’t working, Nick loves to travel and is an adventure nut! He’s surfed the east coast of Australia, went skydiving and bungee jumping in New Zealand, spent a week scuba diving in Fiji, Climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro AND Machu Picchu, White Water Rafted 100 miles of the salmon fork river, etc, etc, etc... Nick credits his adventurous spirit with how and why he pushes himself so much in the business arena. 

With all of this success, nothing compares to the time he gets to spend at home. With the recent birth of his son, Nick now has TWO little boys running around, keeping him and his wife on their toes! Nick now proudly enjoys more quiet nights and low-key adventures at home but knows, soon enough, he’ll have two new adventure partners ready to travel!

• Founded in 2015, the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS) provides physicians with a choice in continuous board certification that is clinically rigorous, evidence-based, less burdensome, and nationally accepted.
• Thirteen states have passed legislation prohibiting MOC/OCC as a requirement for medical licensing, hospital privileges and payor reimbursement. View here
• The anti-competitive nature of the ABMS MOC product caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Antitrust Division. On September 10, 2018, the DOJ published guidance that strongly encouraged competition in physician certification. Read More
• The American Medical Association (AMA) issued a resolution stating that MOC/OCC should not be a mandated requirement for licensure, credentialing, payment, network participation or employment. Read More
• The ABMS released a Vision Commission report (2019) on MOC concluding that “ABMS must encourage hospitals, health systems, payers and other health care organizations to not deny credentialing or privileging to a physician solely on the basis of certification.” And in the same report, less than 1 in 10 of physicians found value in ABMS’s MOC programs.
