Michael J. Nicola

Mike grew up on a small ranch outside Scottsbluff, Nebraska. His dad was a well-known independent cattle buyer throughout Nebraska, Wyoming and the Dakotas. Even though Mike grew up as a working cowboy, his dad insisted that he and his brother go to college and stay out of the cattle business. Mike graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Pre-Med degree. For nearly 30 years, Mike has been in the financial services business as a stock and commodity broker and head of sales for several large financial institutions. Mike is on the Board of Directors of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.
