Nick Armstrong

I'm a dad, author, Ignite, PechaKucha, and TEDx speaker, audio drama enthusiast, and award-winning entrepreneur. More than anything, I love to make people laugh.

I’ve co-organized community events like Fort Collins Comic Con, Startup Week Fort Collins, TEDxFoCo, Ignite Fort Collins, LaidOffCamp/CareerCamp, PodCamp Fort Collins, and more. My local efforts landed me a prestigious spot as one of BizWest’s 40 Under Forty in 2016, the Colorado Association of Libraries’ Library Community Partnership Award in 2018, and one of ColoradoBiz’s GenXYZ Top 25 Most Influential Young Professionals in Colorado in 2020.

Alongside an amazing team of 13 other super-geeks, I built out Fort Collins Comic Con to benefit the Poudre River Public Library District and have raised over $120,000 for the Library to encourage youth literacy through comics.

My company WTF Marketing has served several happy clients including several multi-million dollar businesses and mom-and-pop shops in my hometown of Fort Collins, Colorado. I've even advised Fortune 100 businesses on marketing and technology.

I've written three books: Psychotic Resumes, a Gen-Y resume creation and job search guide, Mess Hunter, a children's book that I also illustrated, and a cookbook called Men in Kitchens: A Good Day to Dine Hard.
