Nick Gatins

Associate Wealth Advisor

Nick joined Hightower Signature Wealth (formerly known as Fairport Wealth) as an Associate Wealth Advisor in early 2026. As a trusted partner and financial architect to his clients, Nick helps them navigate their financial futures and achieve their goals. His personal mission statement is, “to lead a purposeful life that creates freedom of time and choice and allows me to become the best version of myself – a model of proactivity, loyalty, integrity, contribution, kindness, and success. Doing so builds capacity to serve others and empower them to unlock their full potential.”

Prior to joining Hightower Signature Wealth in 2026, Nick worked in various corporate finance roles, most recently for Signet Jewelers as financial business partner to the digital organization and manager on the capital investments team.

Nick holds a FINRA Series 65 and earned his MBA and MS in Finance degrees from West Virginia University, as well as a BA in Financial Economics from Washington & Jefferson College. While at Washington & Jefferson College, Nick played on the baseball team, culminating in a runner-up finish in the Division III College World Series in his senior year.

Nick currently resides in North Royalton with his five-year-old rescue pup, Daisy. He is passionate about health, fitness, and nutrition, and loves a good game night with family or friends. He also cheers on the three professional Cleveland sports teams (begrudgingly at times).
