Hey, I’m Nic—based in sunny Sacramento, with occasional adventures in China. When I’m not curating Spotify playlists or wandering Reddit’s stranger corners, I’m watching professional wrestling, gaming weekly with my family, and drinking tea or exploring Eastern & Central European wines with my partner Jennifer, our kids Elie and Gabi, and our two dogs, Halo Shibata and Sora Naito.

Professionally, I’ve spent 20+ years working at the intersection of impact ventures, organizational development, and mental health, collaborating with academics, SMEs, and government agencies across the US and Asia. I’m energized by projects that turn research into real-world solutions and build cooperative systems around big, messy problems.

By day, I direct ADEii Health, a mental health company focused on urgent care access and clinician workforce development. I also work with different non-profits and volunteer, tackling issues related to socioeconomic vulnerability, inequity, and propaganda through data-informed support.

For extra fun, I volunteer in blockchain, Web3, and NFT spaces, exploring their potential for social good. I’m currently co-authoring a children’s book, The ABCs of Web3 and NFTs, and previously co-led WoWPixies, edited The Pixie Dust, and collaborated with ADIMVERSE.
