Nick lives in Miami, FL, having relocated from England after marrying a native Floridian in Key West in 2018. He is an Economics graduate and served in the Royal Naval Reserves for seven years through which he became a qualified SCUBA diver, diving primarily off the Ascension Island in the mid-Atlantic. While awaiting his US work authorization, Nick volunteered with Third Wave Volunteers and the City of Miami to deliver donations to the Bahamas following the Hurricane Dorian disaster. He was appointed as warehouse manager and was responsible for the shipment of 250,000 lbs of donations from the general public of Miami to Grand Bahama and the Abacos. He now works in Business Development for a global payments company in Miami and spends his spare time golfing, playing guitar, spending time with his pets and volunteering.

Nick became involved in Shallow Water Blackout Prevention after his high school friend from England tragically died while swimming unsupervised in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Nick is committed to expanding the reach of Shallow Water Blackout Prevention to educate individuals and prevent avoidable tragedies. He will be working with Amanda Balius and Layla Alo Caballero,our other Ambassadors from the Miami area to create the Miami Chapter of Shallow Water Blackout Prevention.

Welcome Nick, and thank you for your interest in working with us.
