The Foundation 

Nolan's academic and technical foundation was intentionally designed to solve complex, multidimensional problems.

After dropping out of high school in the 9th grade, Nolan didn't restart his formal education until he was 23 years old. This hiatus was followed by an intense period of self-driven learning, during which he completed the equivalent of four years of high school in just seven months. His qualifications create a unique toolkit for understanding the complete picture of modern business:

  • Psychological & Behavioral Expertise: As a Certified Crisis Intervention Specialist (CCIS) and a PhD candidate in Business Psychology, Nolan commands a deep understanding of human motivation, organizational dynamics, and high-stakes communication.

 

  • Elite Technical Prowess: This human-centric expertise is built upon a hard-data foundation, anchored by a Bachelor's degree in Computer Programming and Hardware Manufacturing. This is complemented by an elite collection of nine national certifications from technology titans like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and CompTIA.

 

  • Proven Business Acumen: A Bachelor's degree in Organizational Leadership provides the strategic framework to apply this knowledge, bridging the gap between technical potential and organizational success. His academic record is flawless, marked by a perfect 4.0 GPA and a top 1% global score on the ACBSP outbound exam for business knowledge.

Away From the Keyboard

 

When I'm not developing business strategies or writing my next book, I'm driven by two of my other great passions: art and motion.

I'm an artist at heart. Whether it's through the lens of a camera or with a paintbrush on canvas, I'm fascinated by the process of capturing light, color, and emotion. This creative outlet is more than a hobby; it’s a way of seeing the world that informs everything I do, bringing a different kind of perspective to my technical projects.

To balance out the hours of deep focus, I believe in staying active. You can often find me either swimming laps to clear my mind or exploring the outdoors on a bike.

I'm also a lifelong car enthusiast. For me, cars represent a perfect fusion of engineering, art, and performance—a passion that satisfies both the computer engineer and the artist in me.

Whether I'm at my desk, in the studio, or on the road, I'm always looking for the details that connect technology and creativity.
