Nick was elected to serve the citizens of Leon County in 2010 with the goal of bringing diversity, increased transparency, and a competitive edge to a county he has grown to love. Recruited to play football in 1999 for Florida State University, Nick left North Carolina for Tallahassee and found the place he would call home. As a running back with FSU, Nick was a part of the 1999 National Championship Team and left in 2001 to play at the highest level, the National Football League.
After spending three years in the NFL playing with the Browns, Chargers and Panthers, Nick returned home to Tallahassee and the Florida State Seminoles, graduating with dual degrees in business & real estate while working with the Seminole Boosters. In 2005, Nick met his wife, Tina. Tina dedicates her time to empowering young women to be confident through dance instruction and volunteer work. The two have been blessed with over a decade of marriage and three beautiful children: Nyla, born in 2007, Mylee, born in 2011, and Nicholas Jr., born in 2019.
Nick’s passion for football, winning, and family has translated quickly to success for Leon County. He has committed his time in office to focusing on building up Tallahassee’s youth, bringing in new businesses to Tallahassee, and growing local businesses. His tenacious support of redevelopment areas, quality of life, and environmental preservation is ensuring that Leon County remains an ideal home for years to come.
