Nick has been plagued his entire life with not knowing what he wants to be when he grows up so he's trying everything until something clicks (or he grows up)!
He has lived in France (Alsace and Provence), Canada (Northern Ontario and Quebec), US (Oregon, Pennsylvania and New York), Yemen (Sana'a and Taiz) and now New Zealand (Wellington). He has accumulated three citizenships and reckons he may have visited 40 or so countries along the way.
His aimless career path has had him try to be a nuclear engineer, Wall Street investment banker, Peace Corps volunteer, ski instructor in Vermont, drug testing entrepreneur, geophysicist in the Canadian Arctic, door-to-door salesman, farm hand in Prince Edward Island, quasi-published author, CEO of a couple of companies, and now a climate change advocate and entrepreneur.
Nick has found his passion in Celsias, much to the relief of his long-suffering family. He wants Celsias to bring people, projects, and companies together to solve global warming.

You've been busy - look at all those Celsias points already ;)
Thanks so much for the LivingYoga recc! Have you checked out the book A New Earth? I think you'd be really into it.
Thanks Nick, always more to do.
Hey Nick, Whats up?
Looking like it oughta. Great job!
Hi Nick. I think we spoke on the phone when you were doing a referee check :) Love the new site - the actions are such a good idea. Happy to support your efforts!

Wow, what a pioneer...so many points! Give cuddles to Max!
Hey Nick! Are we still planning to run in the NY marathon?!
Cheers Nick. Great initiative and timely indeed. It's only getting warmer here in the Great White North. There's even less snow since you departed our shores!
