My name is Nick Coale, I have been working in senior living for almost 9 years and have loved serving so many seniors. I grew up in Vancouver Washington and now live in Portland with my wonderful wife Emma and our son Aidan who is almost 2.

We are a Green Bay packers family and on Sundays you can find us watching football and making breakfast at home.
