financial contributions have contributed to local Rotary service projects and to projects serving the global
community through Rotary International. His contributions were essential to the club receiving recognition from
our Rotary District as a 100% Paul Harris Club, and recognition for the Every Rotarian Every Year program.
In addition to Rotary, Nick is a leader in many other areas of our community. He genuinely demonstrates his
concern for the people in our community through his actions, and encourages others to get involved as well.
Nick’s long-time commitment to service and positive energy are assets not only to our club, but also to our
community. Nick has been a supporter of the Child & Family Center for over two decades. Besides serving in
various board positions, his leadership as chair of the Guardians of Hope Campaign in 2014 resulted in raising
$117,000, which helps those children in need of mental health services continue their care when government
funding has been exhausted. He and his firm have been longtime sponsors of the Center’s “Taste of the Town.
Nick also negotiated the City’s sponsorship in the Santa Clarita Century Ride. This past year, Nick has been
invaluable serving on the board merger committee, resulting in the Center and Foundation Boards merging
into one entity. He extended his term as chair of the Foundation Board to ensure the smooth merge transition.
Currently, Nick is serving on the Child & Family Center Board’s Fund Development Committee, and is chairing
an inaugural event - Child & Family Center’s Trike Derby.
