As a founding partner behind The Responsible Brand and OakGrove Business Consulting, Nicholas blends practical financial tools with long-term vision to support growth-minded individuals and businesses through every stage of their journey.
His work spans multiple impact areas—from helping families eliminate decades of mortgage debt in a fraction of the time, to guiding small businesses through strategic pivots, exit readiness, and leadership development. Through programs like Mortgage Ready, Smart Start, and Dollars & Degrees, Nicholas empowers clients to take control of their financial future without sacrificing their values or lifestyle.
With a focus on cash flow optimization, debt elimination, and business infrastructure, Nicholas’s approach is rooted in education, empathy, and execution. He’s a licensed financial professional in Michigan and is actively expanding his capabilities with advanced certifications like the Series 65. Whether working with young professionals, parents planning for college, or business owners preparing for succession, Nicholas brings clarity, discipline, and actionable insight to every relationship.
Beyond the numbers, Nicholas is a storyteller, a systems-thinker, and a firm believer that freedom is built, not found. His consulting model at OakGrove emphasizes a complete life cycle approach—from startup to scale to succession—anchored by the proprietary OakGrove Method™, including the R.I.G.H.T. Decision Making Framework, the D.R.E.A.M. Commitment Principle, and the Vision Launchpad™.
Driven by faith, integrity, and impact, Nicholas continues to develop tools, programs, and partnerships that empower people to take the Responsible Next Step—whether in their finances, business, or legacy.More...
