With a bachelor’s degree in business management from Indiana University Southeast, Nicole has dedicated 25 years to her role at Unique. She shares her life with her husband, Darryl, of 20 years, and their son, Darius, who will be attending Purdue University, Fort Wayne, to pursue his track and field career. With weekends traditionally filled with track and field events for the past 18 years, Nicole looks forward to exploring gardening and embarking on new adventures.

Andy and his wife Deanna live in Southern Indiana with their three girls, Kate, Camryn, and Ellie.
