I am of the belief that the desire to positively impact society comes from within. I have come to realize the importance of taking action. To have a true appreciation for the synergies that are born out of togetherness! I am driven by a personal passion to make a significant difference in the lives of others and to have fun along the way.

Nic Braby

Co-Founder

‘Strength through unity’ is a mantra that is expressed throughout my various aspects of life. I strongly believe that change begins with only a small step, but if we can stand up and step forward in unity – the change it can potentially create is infinite. I am inspired by the individuals who have made the step before me, and I am driven to create the environment which allows for others to walk beside me.
