Nick Herle frequently participates in and school, community, and youth-centered events in Florida and elsewhere.

Born in Germany, Nick Herle spent his childhood in Baden-Baden in the Black Forest in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Even back then, the young innovator saw things from a different perspective than many of his peers. By the time he was a teen, he was already getting started on his professional ventures. He founded Herle Funkservice GmbH in 2005, which provided radio packages for governmental agencies and private entities.
He sold his first company in 2011, by which point he was heavily involved in the German Red Cross, serving as a Battalion Chief for the local crisis response unit. While still working in telecommunications, he started to venture into aviation, recognizing helicopters played a vital role in crisis response. He earned his pilot license at age 17 and quickly decided to relocate to the United States, where more aviation opportunities were available.
With a degree in Business Economics, his pilot’s license, and now years of experience assisting in various missions and enterprises from search and rescue to firefighting and private and business aviation ventures, Nick Herle is the ideal candidate to empower and encourage future generations to take the helm and forge their own path in life.
“Our success is directly related to our clarity and honesty about who we are, who we’re not, where we want to go, and how we’re going to get there,” Nick Herle said on his website. “No matter your life’s purpose, do it because it’s right, not because it’s right for your resume.”
