OUR TEAM

NIck Alligood | Co-Founder

After two years of owning and operating a retail brand, Nick saw a major gap in the industry—one that demanded a higher standard of customer service, quality, and attention to detail. With a commitment to elevating the customer experience, he set out to create something Above The Rest.

Before diving into the world of apparel, Nick spent over a decade in Nashville, TN, as a professional songwriter and musician. Now, he pours that same passion into this industry. Nick is happily married to his wife Kelsie. They live in Casco with their two beautiful daughters, Whitley & Wynne- their English Springer named Gibson, and an old cranky Chihuahua named Kleetis.
