NICK PIRIE
Company: Xvoke Position: Founder and President Age: 30 During your time volunteering for a community activity or project, what is your most memorial moment? About 10 years ago I was speaking on a panel regarding drug abuse and addiction at a local Junior High School. After the panel was complete one of the students stopped me to let me know he had been going through some issues with his family and substance abuse. He told me my story had helped him understand that he doesn’t have to go through it alone. I felt if I could just reach one person in any audience it would be worth the time. Can your share one thing that is on your bucket list? Learn to play the guitar and sail Thailand. Likely not at the same time.
