Born Nick Alan Myers in 1962 at Brookley Air Force Base in Mobile, Alabama,  I am the oldest of four children.  I graduated from Lyman Ward Military Academy in 1980, and enlisted in the Army Reserves during my senior year.  I would eventually serve some twenty-six years in both the Army Reserves and the Alabama Army National Guard as both enlisted and commissioned.  I also graduated from the Army's Signal Corp's Basic and Advanced Officer's School as well as the Command and General Staff College.  I was Honorable Discharge in October 2006 at the rank of Major.. 

     I graduated from Athens State College with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Public Safety Administration and spent nearly twenty one years working as a law enforcement officer in the State of Alabama.  In September 2004, I took early retirement from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.  During my career I worked in the Corrections Division, Patrol Division, Vice & Narcotics Unit and as Special Federal Officer with the Birmingham FBI.  I spent ten years detailed to the FBI, first working Organized Crime then after 9/11, I was assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force.  My last assignment was that as the Narcotics Unit Supervisor..

     While I was working in law enforcement, I began to toy with the idea of opening my own business and in 1999, I created, developed and designed Alabama Storage, LLC.  Initially built as a small side venture, the business continued to grow, and late in 2004 I took early retirement to develope full time.  I went back to school to train and get certified as both a licensce contractor and self storage operator.  By the end of 2004, I had expanded my first location and opened a second facility.  Both properties would continue to expand and the addition of moving trucks and mobile containers were added.  In 2007, I was offered a buyout deal for both properties, 12 commercial acres, 1 restaurant, 38 buildings, 100, 000 square feet of indoor storage and a fleet of vehicles and storage containers.  Upon completion of the purchase, my family retired again and moved to Colorado.

     I am the father of three children whom I am very proud of and since retiring have pursued several goals to include learning how to play the piano and to be published as an amateur novelist.  I enjoy reading, fishing, football and snowmobiling.  The family still maintains a residence on beautiful Smith Lake in Alabama where they vacation frequently.
