Nick Wallace
Co-founder / Account Control OfficerI have had the privilege of being part of the founding journey of Eastern Therapy, alongside Brooke. I stepped away from construction in 2023 to pursue a full-time role with Eastern Therapy. My primary role is to provide support wherever possible, with a particular focus on insurance and billing matters. I am responsible for all insurance billing as well as managing and balancing all patient accounts.
In 2012, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management from East Carolina University and have managed numerous projects throughout the country over the past decade. I am also a licensed general contractor. Leveraging my license, Brooke and I designed and executed the renovation of our clinic, transforming it from concrete floors into a fully operational facility.
Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted husband and father to two wonderful little girls. During my leisure time, I cherish spending moments with my family, wherever we may be. I also have a passion for woodworking, and you can often find me immersed in various projects, crafting everything from custom furniture to home projects.
