Black Rock Ranger

Nick's Work as Black Rock Ranger

At the heart of the Arizona State Legislature, I delved into the intricate world of public policy during my tenure as a Research Intern with the Elections Committee. This pivotal role was rooted in objective research, bipartisan collaboration, and fostering transparent communication:

Expert Training

Acquired skills in de-escalation techniques, ensuring conflicts at the event are peacefully resolved and participants experience a harmonious environment.

Active Volunteering

Contributed over 150 hours in 2023 alone, exemplifying commitment to the community's wellbeing.

Problem Solving

Navigated diverse challenges at Playa, ranging from camp disputes, aggressive behavior management, and sound complaints to aiding lost participants, handling unauthorized art cars, and maintaining fire safety perimeters.

Extended Reach

Beyond Burning Man, extended Ranger responsibilities to various Regional Burns, including Love Burn (Miami), Namibia Burn (Namibia), AfricaBurn (South Africa), and Apogaea (Colorado).
