Mark Nicholson – Volunteer

December 2019 – Greetings fellow GMRP teammates. My name is Mark Nicholson and I live in Charlotte, NC, with my wife Lauren and children, Peyton and Claire. Currently, I am a stay-at-home dad to Peyton and Claire. Prior to staying home with Peyton and Claire, I worked for Bank of America for nearly 10 years. I also served as a U.S. Marine for a number of years prior to starting my finance career.

As a way to pass the time at home while the kids were in school, I decided to study Spanish. About 2 years ago, I bought Barbara Bregstein’s Easy Spanish and started to study when I could. A long story short, I have now been to Mexico four times and drive my wife crazy with my newly found passion.

I found my way to GMRP through my children’s dentist, Dr. Meg Lochary. I mentioned to Dr. Meg that I was looking to grow my Spanish skills but also help out a community in need. She mentioned her experience with GMRP and the rest is history. I am very excited to join you all on this mission and look forward to an exciting trip.
