Nick and his wife, Amanda live in Newnan, GA with their three daughters: Sophie – 13, Izzie – 12, and Tessa – 9. He’s lived in the area for most of his life. He graduated from Landmark Christian School in 2000 before going to Auburn University. Following his time at Auburn, he lived in the Charlotte area for a short time before meeting Amanda. They dated a short four months – hey, when you know, you know – before getting engaged, and were married a year later in 2006. They moved to Newnan soon thereafter and will be celebrating their 16th anniversary in June.
Nick spent most of his professional career in sales, much of that time on the road and covering a 3 state territory. He realized there was much more to providing for his family than bringing home a paycheck, and being gone 3-4 nights a week wasn’t cutting it. In 2015, he left his traveling sales position for good, and has enjoyed playing a larger role in the family’s day-to-day activities ever since. One of the things he treasures most is being able to see his wife and three girls daily. It’s a decision he’s never regretted!
“I realized there’s a lot more to providing for my family than creating income. How do you provide security when you’re not home? How do you provide life lessons and how do you provide the love of a man that they’re going to go find somewhere if you’re not home?” — Nick Polgardi
