About Me
Nick, the oldest of five, was raised by his grandparents in the Chicagoland Area. After immigrating to the United States from Spain, Nick’s grandfather went to work in the insulation factories. Nick’s grandfather taught him the value of hard work and kindness, and his grandmother taught him the value of community and to stand up for others. Collectively, Nick’s grandparents made $15,000 while Nick was growing up.
Nick’s grandparents instilled in him that education was the way to opportunity in the United States; a lesson Nick took to heart. With his grandparents faith in him, Nick was the first person in his family to graduate college, and the first person to graduate from law school.
Nick lives in Waukegan with his loving husband of 13 Years, and their son. Nick and his husband were blessed to have their 16 year old son be placed with them through foster care. Nick’s son is a current Junior at Waukegan high school, Washington Campus. As a foster parent, Nick and his husband learned that the schools are not always equipped to meet children and families where they are at. Nick intends to work with administrators and educators to help make our schools better for our children, so that our students and families are connected with the resources they need to provide our children with a quality education.
As a career, Nick works as a Prosecutor for the Lake County State Attorney’s Office. As a prosecutor, Nick has prosecuted cases of domestic violence, and other violent crimes. The safety and security of all of our children is important in fostering an environment in which our children learn and grow. Nick will work with city officials, administrators, and other stakeholder to ensure the appropriate resources are provided to our schools.
