In the spirit of Phil Keoghan:

"It's the most daring competition ever attempted. Teams, bound by relationships and collaboration, will race around downtown Greeley. I have no idea where they're going, what dangers they may encounter, or how the journey will affect their lives. The team that reaches the finish line first will win a prize. This is a race like no other in history. This is the Amazing Race."

We look forward to seeing you there!

🌟Meet your 2025 NOCO YP Council🌟

Nick Kenny
Financial Advisor – Edward Jones
Chair of NOCO YP Council

💫3 words that describe Nick:
Compassionate. Driven. Enthusiastic.

💫One of Nick's proudest achievements?
On a random Wednesday in December, I was contacted on three different channels (LinkedIn, work email, personal email, and more) requesting the urgent need for an announcer for the NHL Outdoor Winter Classic Colorado Avalanche Alumni v. NHL Alumni Game. Somehow my schedule was free that weekend so was fortunate to enjoy a weekend in Aspen – announced my first NHL game and had the chance to meet hockey legends and other celebrities during some of the events. It was one of the most unique and fun experiences I've had!

💫A favorite local business of his:
It's probably not a surprise that my favorite business in Greeley is 477 Distilling. I have known the owner for many years and appreciate all he does for the community, his staff, his family, and nonprofits in the region. Not only are his craft cocktails delicious – 477 channels the camaraderie and community that makes Greeley such a special place.

💫Nick's superpower:
My superpower is that I am authentic. Truly unapologetically authentic. It wasn't easy – it took an intentional approach, time, and plenty of work on myself to be a person I am proud to be in any social or professional setting. Finding my "why" was really significant during this journey and can be a tremendous tool to return to if I feel I'm stepping off path.
