Leader of this merry band, Nick has worked with hundreds of brands across a myriad of different sectors – from commercial real estate to healthcare, service companies to retail, thought leaders to startups. The focus for Alter Endeavors stems from Nick’s passion for stories and technology. After graduating from Southwestern University with an English and Communications double major, Nick started as a freelance content developer & strategist which quickly evolved into a consulting position for a number of brands in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

After 2 years as a freelance consultant, Alter Endeavors was founded back in 2011 to meet the growing needs of Nick’s freelance clients – drawing together incredible talent to accomplish client goals. Today, Nick continues to serve as a consultant for Alter Endeavors’ growing client base while also researching and pulling together new strategies and programs for a constantly evolving digital marketing space. Nick is always available for a game of racquetball or happy hour, whichever works for you, he’s flexible.

“Brands succeed by celebrating who they are and what they do – all the while inviting others to participate. You know, like happy hour.  Everybody loves to celebrate five o’clock somewhere. Selling never works. If we have to sell who you are, then we’ve already lost, like trying to sell your family and friends timeshare. No faster way to lose family and friends than trying to sell them timeshare…or really long quotes. Nobody appreciates really long quotes.”
