About NKF
Tragically, Nick Kilhams died from suicide early one Saturday morning in May 2021. NKF’s mission is to keep Nick’s memory and legacy alive in the marketplace that he loved so dearly. NKF fears others in the industry may be struggling to deal with their inner thoughts and mental health challenges.

They hope that by bringing Nick’s story to the fore, others will be brave enough to share and talk openly if they need help. NKF aims to raise money to fund mental health resources, to aid anyone in our market that needs help.
