About Us

Heather Nicholas – (the daughter)

Podcast connoisseur, shelter dog rescuer, theater major, etc.

Randy Nicholas – (the dad)

World traveling techno-geek, NN editor, Sassy snuggler, etc.

Heather Nicholas was born and raised in West Tennessee. She has a bachelor’s degree from Union University. She currently works in accounting for a metal manufacturing company in the Southeast. She spends her free time knitting, watching movies, going down YouTube rabbit holes, hanging with her fam and friends, and snuggling her chihuahua, Bitty. In 6th grade, the slogan her daddy helped her come up with to run for class president was, “Don’t be ridiculous, vote for Heather Nicholas.” And by golly, she won.

Randy Nicholas was also born in West Tennessee. He also has a bachelor’s degree from Union University. He currently works for an international children’s ministry and previously served as a church planter in Eastern Europe with a different mission’s agency. Faith is a big part of his life. He has been married for over 40 years to the love of his life and is a big softie when it comes to Sassy, their Czech-born Maltese dog. He has friends from many different races, cultures, and nations… the basis for true diversity. If you would like to get a more detailed look at his viewpoint and life as a techno-missional traveler, check out his personal blog here.
