Paul Nichczynski

Paul Nichczynski is an independent business owner based in Liberty Lake, Washington, with professional experience in clinic care, service industry operations, healthcare administration, and medical billing. His career includes long-term work in hospital environments that required close attention to patient care processes, clinical documentation, staffing coordination, and insurance-related procedures. This background contributed to a practical understanding of how healthcare systems function and how accurate billing supports both providers and patients. Born and raised in Utica, Michigan, he lived there with his mother, Loretta Nichczynski, and his sister, Susan Nichczynski, until approximately 1985. Paul graduated from Utica High School in 1985 and later attended the University of Michigan, Dearborn from 2001 to 2004, where he studied Business Administration and Management. He earned a dual degree in Science and Applied Science in 2007, laying a foundation for later transitions into healthcare operations and business ownership. Before entering the healthcare field, he spent more than 20 years working in the service and restaurant industries throughout Michigan. His roles included line cook, bartender, and kitchen and service manager at restaurants such as Champps Americana, Max and Erma’s, and Chi Chi’s. He also briefly worked for Starbucks Corporation as a barista and store manager. During college, he operated an independent online business from 2003 to 2007 through an eBay storefront called Backpackinbuddha Mountaingear, selling new and used higher-end outdoor apparel and gear. Paul Nichczynski formally entered the healthcare field after graduating from Schoolcraft College in 2007 and relocated to Issaquah, Washington, in 2008. He began working at Swedish Medical Center Issaquah Campus in October 2008 and remained there until October 2015, supporting critically ill patients and collaborating closely with physicians and clinical teams.
