RANGA TANK 

Nicolas Ian Crawford Dixon

"My mind rebels at stagnation..." -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

​

Nick was a Poli Sci and Econ double major at the University of San Diego, but it was high marks in Organic Chemistry, Econometrics, Metaphysics and Analytic Philosophy that held his GPA aloft.

​

"RANGA TANK is the matrix for all the back-burner projects that keep me dreaming."

​

Nick/Nico was the youngest uchi deshi, or live in student, at the Sunset Cliffs Aikido Dojo.  San Diego was a perfect backdrop for surfing, Aikido, water polo, and a little bit of lacrosse and rugby.  A fusion Aikido/Lacrosse clinic was administered for the Paiute-Shoshone tribe and earned him admittance to an MSc Program in Sustainable Development at the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland, as well as an invite to apply for the Global Leader MBA at the Nagoya University of Commerce and Business in Japan.

​

Japanese was spoken in the dojo everyday. Languages are a fun challenge: Spanish, English, Orca and Humpback dialects.  He has learned to read (and understand) Portuguese, and can decipher Korean and Russian writing systems.  He scored 99% on the military entrance screening, ASVAB, 3 times, but is now pursuing entrepreneurship full-time and solo.
