Meet the Founder

Nick Siegel, CPA, is the founder of Pirate Juice. A graduate of the University of Kansas with three degrees, including two master’s, Nick combines a rigorous academic foundation with hands-on business leadership.

​

He once operated a bar out of his apartment in college where he would put rum in a coke can and he came up with other drinks such as The Valet's Manhattan. After college, Nick lived in a beach town called Dana Point, in which he went on many adventures similar to Hunter S. Thompson in The Rum Diary. 

​

He is a licensed CPA in Missouri and brings over seven years of professional experience spanning consulting, financial analysis, and marketing/strategy. Nick spent two years advising on M&A transactions, five years leading strategic marketing and brand development for a Division I athletics program, and has also served as a professional emcee, honing his skills in communication and audience engagement. His breadth of expertise across finance, strategy, and marketing uniquely positions him to lead Pirate Juice with both analytical discipline and creative vision.
