Quickly catching the start-up bug, Nick joined the team that successfully sold SoftSolutions to Novell in 1994 and helped launch NetDocuments, a software start-up delivering “hosted” document management services. NetDocuments was a pioneer in the Software as a Service (SaaS) arena. The Company was later funded by Wasatch Venture Fund and remains a stellar Wasatch / EPIC portfolio company. In 1998 Nick joined Excite.com in Redwood City, CA and worked in the Business Development Group while completing his M.B.A. During this time, Nick also provided consulting services to Wasatch Venture Fund, evaluating business plans and performing additional due diligence. Nick and his wife Kristyn are the parents of three children.

He has a B.S. in Entrepreneurship with a minor in Accounting/Economics from Brigham Young University. His M.B.A. is from the Marriott School at BYU. Notable exits that Nick has worked on at EPIC include The Generations Network (sold to Spectrum Equity and later IPO), Berkeley Data Systems, a.k.a., Mozy (sold to EMC) and Advanced Software (sold to Embarcadero Technologies). His current portfolio includes many market leading companies, including Alliance Health Networks (Health Social Networks), HyTrust (Virtualization Compliance, Security and Management), Tricipher (On-demand Identity Management), Medsphere Systems (Open Source Electronic Health Records), Bungee Labs (Platform-as-a-Service), The Generations Network (Geneology and Family History Data and Services) and SmileReminder (Doctor / Patient Communications Services).
