Nick Haring is the new fellow at the end of the FundRaiser Tech Support line. In addition to Jonathan Smith, Nick is here to answer your questions about using the FundRaiser programs. Nick is replacing Sherry Willis whose own home business, Half-Pint Homesteads, has taken off and needs her full time. We are sorry to see her go, and happy to have someone like Nick join the FundRaiser staff. Right now, he's responding mostly to emails involving simple queries. "I’ll be on the phones soon!" he says.
Nick studied Computer Science and Mass Communications at Missouri Southern State in Joplin, Missouri. After losing his home in the Joplin tornado in 2011, he moved back to West Plains, Missouri, to be closer to family.
After his move, he was happy to discover that FundRaiser Software was looking for someone like him as a support technician. Because of his ability with computers he is at home with technical questions; and with his interest in communications, he has an easy and pleasant way of sharing information. Look for his blog posts coming up as he settles in at FundRaiser.
He accepted the job at FundRaiser “because I thought I’d enjoy working with nonprofits, and I liked the atmosphere at the office. Everyone seems nice. They get along well with each other. A cordial atmosphere is so important in a workplace. Everyone works better when they’re not stressed out!”
Outside of work he enjoys hiking and sightseeing, like many other FundRaiser staff members. He also likes movies and video games, and hanging out with friends. He quickly jumped into volunteering work in West Plains, helping out the Howell County Democrats so effectively that he found himself running the local election headquarters; and is now vice-president of the organization. During college, he helped found and was President of the Missouri Southern Ghost Hunters, a paranormal investigation club. "I have some pretty interesting stories about it and I do like to talk about it!" he says.
