Nic grew up around airplanes his entire childhood - his parents started a charter company right after he was born. He has always wanted to learn to fly, but he was diagnosed with a rare heart condition that required open heart surgery at the age of 15. This meant he was unable to get a pilot medical certificate, so he pursued a sports pilot's license to fly for fun. He became a nurse practitioner and has been working in an ER in rural Iowa for the last 5 years. After years of good health and lots of testing, he was approved for a flight medical certificate. After completing many levels of training, he and his father took their first organ transplant flight. He says, "After that, we were sold on flying with a purpose." In 2023, he and his father transported 243 organs for transplantation.
