Born and brought up in a Christian home, Nick Zaccardi is a testimony to the keeping power of the Holy Spirit. He was a part of a family that went to church "whenever the doors were open." This privilege allowed him to pursue his calling from an early age. This involved teaching Sunday School, running a monthly program for Junior High Boys, and directing a regional youth organization. In 1980, he graduated from the University of Lowell (Now UMass Lowell) with an Electrical Engineering degree. At that time he was working as an engineer while volunteering as the youth director of his church. In
