Nick was fortunate to be introduced to Aviation as a participant in Drexel University’s College of Engineering cooperative education program in 1999. Over two decades later, he is proudly serving as the Chief Development Officer for Arora and its 220+ Aviation, Technology, and Systems focused professionals. Nick’s experience includes extensive project and program management for civil, electrical, multidisciplinary, and systems improvements for airport facilities of all sizes and through the project life cycle stages.

Industry involvement and engagement have always been important to Nick, contributing to his growth and connectivity. He currently serves on several boards, including the Airports Consultants Council, Illuminating Engineering Society Aviation Lighting Committee, and his local Chamber of Commerce. In addition, he currently chairs and participates in several committees within the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) and our very own Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC).

He prides himself on strategic planning and project execution and has been responsible for organizing and producing over 550 for-profit and nonprofit events. He is married to the love of his life Dr. Aisha Ryan and has three young children that still think he is a superhero. If downtime is a thing, you can find Nick playing basketball or anything that involves his young children.
