Nick Amendolara is a Long Island, New York native with a lifelong passion for business, entrepreneurship, and helping others pursue meaningful goals. He attended Chaminade High School and continued his education at Fordham University, where he enrolled in the Gabelli School of Business. Nick graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, concentrating in Finance and Entrepreneurship.

Following his time at Fordham, Nick became the General Manager of Well Strung Guitars, home to one of the world’s most valuable and rare public guitar collections. Over the course of his career, Nick has earned the trust of clients for more than 15 years—an approach rooted in transparency, craftsmanship, and long-term relationships.

Nick’s entrepreneurial journey began early. In 2008, at just 13 years old, he encountered a newly issued Van Halen guitar priced at $25,000—well out of reach at the time. Determined, Nick set out to build his own. After several iterations (and a few bandages from woodshop class), he successfully recreated the instrument. He sold that guitar to fund the next, and soon clients began commissioning custom projects. What started as a personal challenge evolved into a global small business, serving clients worldwide and culminating in a guitar placed on permanent display at the Guitar Legends Hall in Barcelona.

In 2023, while preparing for marriage and planning to purchase a home, Nick took a step back to focus on his own financial planning. Through that process, he discovered a deep appreciation for the structure, strategy, and purpose behind thoughtful financial decision-making. Inspired to align his professional path with his academic background, Nick transitioned into finance.

After earning his securities licenses and spending a year with J.P. Morgan Chase, Nick began his advisory career with Money Concepts International, where he now helps clients pursue their financial goals through holistic, independent planning. His approach is rooted in education, clarity, and personalized strategies—designed to help clients move forward with confidence at every stage of life.
