Nick (Webmaster): I'm a senior studying Computer Science. I'm passionate about programming, math, and information security. I work as an Intern with State Farm's Information (Cyber) Security Division. There, I develop custom security tools and software to support our penetration testing teams.

I have 5 children, all attend the Unit 5 school district. The oldest is graduating from NCHS this May and the youngest is a 5th grader at NorthPoint Elementary.
