NICK WEAVER
Prior to the 2015 gala, we featured Nick’s work as Co- founder and Chief Operating Officer of Blue Delta Jeans (
bluedeltajeans.com) – which specializes in custom- made jeans made in Tupelo, Mississippi. Nick was proud to announce that BDJ is celebrating 10 successful years in business and has grown to more than 70 employees. Recent developments include new technology that allows customers to be measured digitally online for the perfect fit. They’ve also partnered with the U.S. Ryder Cup golf team as an official sponsor.
In addition to golf, Nick has helped lead BDJ to rapidly becoming a favorite of myriad celebrities, professional athletes and coaches, as can be seen on the company’s Instagram channel (
instagram.com/bluedeltajeans).
Beyond making jeans, Nick also announced he is also jumping into the mattress business, once again using the talented workforce in Tupelo. His new venture is called Nest & Wild (
nestandwild.com), and production began in January of 2022.
Always one to support his community, Nick has taken on a few ventures to help those in need. At the onset of Covid-19, Nick and his team were contracted by the state of Mississippi to help make masks when supplies were limited. His team helped the state source N95 cloth material and elastic and delivered more than three million masks and a half a million gowns to health care providers when materials were in short supply.
He also completed three contracts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to deliver more than five million pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables to schools and families as part of disaster and Covid relief efforts using his warehouse space and shipping expertise.
When we asked Nick what made him so successful, he credits “surrounding myself with talented people who care” and using his “best skill set—communicating” which he says is quite ironic given his stutter. “Man, I just like to make things happen,” he added. You sure do, Nick!
