Nick has lived in Pennsylvania all his life – born in Paoli, lived in Exton until the age of three, and has since moved around in West Chester. Nick was lucky enough to attend B. Reed Henderson High School, recently announced to be the number four public high school in the nation. The environment there promotes creative/hands on learning with a welcoming atmosphere, and gave him the resources he needed to succeed. Because of his experience there and the AP tests that were offered to him, he went into his freshman year at YCP with 45 credits, allowing him to graduate on time with a double major and double minor. Overall, Nick has had a fantastic experience with higher education, something that’s been important to him for a long time.
