He is a natural leader who honed his leadership skills in the U.S. Air Force. Nick was first introduced to Steve and Matt while running a team for Boeing where they designed software for the U.S. Special Operations Command. He is energized by tough problems with solutions that can have meaningful impacts. There could no better problem for Nick than solving the challenge of bringing trust and accountability to the sharing economy.

In his spare time, Nick loves to paint and spend time with his family. He holds a B.S. in Asian Studies and an M.B.A in Entrepreneurship.

Matt loves all things technical. He joined Aqqaint as a co-founder because he believes in the power of interpersonal relationships. The current solutions do not recognize trust as the universal currency behind day to day transactions. Matt has a long history of leadership stemming from his service as an Army Airborne Infantryman, management of projects and events in the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon, as well as leadership roles with Boeing and Booz Allen Hamilton focused on Big Data, Cloud, and Cyber Security. In each position, Matt led implementation of solutions to transform processes, people, and data. He values a lean approach to developing software that puts the emphasis on building products based on real user feedback.
