Col Nick Nichols is a decorated USAF F-16 pilot with seven combat tours, serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He also had the privilege of serving as a Group Commander leading nearly 500 Airmen and was responsible for nearly one billion dollars in military assets.
Nick inherited the drive to be a fighter pilot from his father, a Vietnam veteran flying
F-4s, F-100s and F-16s. His father was tragically killed when Nick was only fifteen years old.
On 11 October, 2018, after 30 years of service to his country, Col Nick Nichols climbed out of the cockpit of his F-16 and into the waiting arms of his wife, Carrie. Two days later, 13 October, marked the end of his military career, and the beginning of a new mission with the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Today as President of Folds of Honor, Col Nick serves our scholarship recipients with
unwavering passion. He is an accomplished public speaker, obsessive hunter, new rancher and brings a wealth of leadership experience to our humble team. He and his wife of more than 30 years, Carrie, treasure time with their children, Hannah, Garrett and Reilly, and never take a single day together for granted.
Please check out foldsofhonor.org and consider becoming a recurring member. For only $13 a month, you can support this righteous organization as they provide scholarships to the families of the fallen.
