Outside of work in financial services, Nick and his wife Diana are passionate about the outdoors and music. They are avid skiers, cyclists and proud parents of two young boys (Ryder and Brody). If they are not on the slopes or out for a ride near their home located near Thornbury, Nick spends his spare time with his boys teaching them to beat on the drums or strum the guitar. Prior to joining the investment business in 1998, Nick enjoyed modest success as a musician having recorded 3 albums with his band “Clay”, multiple cross Canada tours and a music video featured on Much Music.
