Nick was born and raised in Yosemite National Park, often accompanying his parents who worked as naturalists in Yosemite. His passion is helping people deepen their relationship with the earth. For Nick, the backcountry is not just a place to visit, it’s home—and Nick is committed to remembering, honoring, and continually learning from the people who have made it their home for thousands of years. He believes that people from any background can find peace and renewal from time spent in the mountains, and gain experience and insight that serve of great value in any walk of life.
