Nick Palmisciano is a New York Times Bestselling Author, a Founding Board Member of Save Our Allies, a humanitarian NGO that tackles the most challenging situations on the planet, and the CEO of Diesel Jack Media, a full-service marketing agency that specializes in helping brands and non-profits maximize their messaging. He spent the best and hardest six years of his life serving as an infantry officer in the United States Army. Upon leaving the military, Nick landed at Fortune 100 Company John Deere after a brief hiatus in business school. While at Deere, Nick held jobs in business development and corporate acquisitions, government sales, and corporate brand licensing. While working the corporate job, Nick began a hobby - Ranger Up, the first military lifestyle brand. The hobby quickly grew legs, causing Nick to leave his corporate job and kicked off a decade and a half of veteran entrepreneurial endeavors focused around digital marketing and social media. Ranger Up became a leader in the veteran community, with such strong support that it has consistently landed in Internet Retailer’s Second 500 since 2012, selling over $100M in t-shirts since inception. Concurrent to Ranger Up’s growth, Nick had the honor to corner his friend Tim Kennedy in mixed martial arts fights over the course of twelve years, ranging from small events on Indian Reservations to main events in the UFC. Nick was once cited by the Tennessee fight commission for celebrating excessively after Tim won UFC Fight for the Troops. He wears that story like a badge of honor. In 2014, he co-wrote, produced, starred in, and served as managing partner for Range 15, the first veteran-made “Hollywood Film”. Range 15 had the fourth largest crowdfund in Indiegogo Movie history and would open in over 650 theaters. It was the first independent film to rise to the ranks of #1 on Amazon and #2 on iTunes for all digital downloads in its first week. Nick later produced a documentary entitled “Not a War Story” about the experience of making that film that also spent a week as the top documentary on iTunes and Amazon. In 2021, when Afghanistan was falling to the Taliban, Nick was one of twelve men who volunteered to go to Kabul and evacuate American Citizens and our Afghan allies. The small group, who named themselves Task Force 6:8 after Isiah 6:8’s “Here Am I; Send Me” managed to gather five airframes in a host nation, worked with the State Department to acquire a hangar at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and begin evacuations. In the ten days that followed, Task Force 6:8 evacuated 12,000 people, second only to the United States Government. Task Force 6:8 was formalized as a non-profit organization named Save Our Allies, where Nick now sits as a founding board member. In 2022, Nick wrote the book Scars and Stripes with his longtime friend and business partner, Tim Kennedy, and then marketed the work. Scars and Stripes became an instant New York Times Bestseller, and remained on the list for multiple weeks. Nick holds an MBA from the Duke University Fuqua School of Business and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point. He was awarded the Entrepreneurial Organization’s Veteran Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2015. He is also a proud recipient of the U.S. Army Ranger Tab.
