About Me

Nicholas Colbrunn


Major: BS in Environmental Science, Energy and Climate option Humboldt State University Arcata California.
  • I served as the College of Natural Resources and Sciences Associated Student Representative at Humboldt State University 2013-2014 where I also worked for the Sustainability department at Plant Operations. I attended Hemet High School where I ran both track and field and x-country and graduated in 2003. I attended Columbia College CA, where I eventually completed my A.A.in 2009. I took the non-traditional route through college taking several years off living in San Diego for a short span then moving to Lake Tahoe and worked in the ski industry for a while. When I returned to college I had to work full-time and two classes a semester. When I attended Humboldt I was a full-time student and worked only part time. I hope to help in a field where I get to participate in protecting the environment and working outside as much as possible.

Interests in Appropriate Technology


Other Fun Fact about Me

  • I love snowboarding, I taught it for several years but injured myself one two many times. So I decided to go back to school and get a degree and limit the snowboarding to a few times a season. I completed my basic Scuba certification in May 2015 and plan on going diving as much as I can afford to. I also throw a disc around sometimes at metals baskets and enjoy swimming. I have a dog named Temperance that is 85 lbs. who is currently living with my parents. I have several houseplants and a beta fish. All my appliances are energy star rated and I turn my power strips off when ever they are not in use. I have chosen to attend Humboldt State because they offered a great environmental science program and it is near the ocean. I regularly travel to the beach where I collect rocks, driftwood, and sea shells to bring back to my family in the mountains. I believe in protecting the environment not only for our children but for all life.
