Hey there, I'm Nic. I'm based in sunny Sacramento, California, with occasional adventures in China. When I'm not curating Spotify playlists or navigating the depths of Reddit, you'll find me indulging in my love for professional wrestling, weekly video game sessions with the family, and sipping tea or exploring Eastern & Central European Wines with my partner Jennifer, our two kids Elie & Gabi, and our two canine pals, Halo Shibata & Sora Naito.

With over 20 years of experience in impact ventures, organizational development, and mental health, I've collaborated with diverse teams, academics, SMEs, and government agencies in the US and Asia. I thrive on projects that foster cooperative relationships, bridging the gap between academic research and practical solutions to big questions.

By day, I lead ADEii Health, a mental health company focusing on urgent mental health care and clinician pool development. I'm also involved in impactful initiatives with the Global Forum for Civic Affairs, addressing socioeconomic vulnerabilities, inequity, and propaganda through data-informed support.

For extra fun, I volunteer with blockchain, Web 3.0, and NFT technologies, exploring their potential for positive impact. Currently, I'm co-authoring a children's book, "The ABCs of Web3 and NFTs," and collaborating with ADIMVERSE. Previously, I co-led WoWPixies and served as editor/designer for their newsletter, THE PIXIE DUST.
