Nick Zielinski
Program Director

Nick was born in Michigan, but his family soon settled in Dayton, Ohio.
"Having a bad case of wanderlust, I moved to Prescott, Arizona, where I completed my undergraduate studies," he says.
Spending most of his time in the Great Lakes region and southwest, he developed a rather conflicted set of hobbies. "When I'm not at Pathfinder Ranch, I'm likely found cycling, hiking, or hanging out with my dogs, Dayton and Suki." |
