As part of his philanthropic efforts, Nick founded Cozy Coats for Kids, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Cozy Coats for Kids purchases brand-new winter coats that children have picked out for themselves, with the intention of bolstering their confidence and wellness. The program raises money through donations from professionals in the inspection industry and related sectors throughout the United States and Canada.
In 2016, Nick fulfilled his decade-long goal of creating the ultimate education tool when he opened the
House of Horrors® — the only training facility of its kind — at InterNACHI® Headquarters in Boulder. The House of Horrors® is a full-size house with a thousand defects purposely built in. This unique structure permits hands-on, accredited training for new and veteran inspectors, held for one week every month, as well live tours and events for real estate professionals and others interested in the home inspection process. The following year, a
second House of Horrors® was opened in Weston, Florida.
