Nico is a first-generation Brazilian immigrant who also lived in Canada for 13 years, and has now lived in Austin since 2012. A transfer student to The University of Texas at Austin is where Nico heard the Gospel for the first time—while attending a college-led CG that his (now) wife, Leah was leading at the time. Nico and Leah have been married since 2015 and have a beautiful daughter, Ayánah.

Nico brings deep experience in brand management and marketing, having worked as both a consultant, and on in-house teams with organizations like The University of Texas, UC Berkeley, SXSW, and Live Nation.

Nico is a goofy guy with a low tolerance for recycled Christianese. “In this season” might make him quietly leave the room.
