Early Life and Education
Nick Shengelia was born on January 16, 2009, in Tbilisi, Georgia, to a family very deeply rooted in both the military and business. His father, Colonel Giorgi Shengelia, is a high-ranking officer of the Georgian Armed Forces, while his mother, Rusudan Shengelia, is one of the most respected accountants in Georgia, with extensive successful practice with state and private institutions. Her being the best accountant in Georgia and her reputation shaped Nick into a man with discipline, precision, and responsibility. He was a very brilliant student with exceptional results across most subjects related to history, mathematics, and leadership. Being the son of an accountant gave him the great analytical mind, detail-oriented insight, and meticulousness that soon became helpful when considering military strategic thinking. During this time inspired by his successful family, in 2024 Nick joined at the age of 15 to Georgian Military Forces Academy.

Military Career
In 2024, Nick Shengelia was admitted to the Georgian Military Forces Academy, which started training when he was 15 years old. Being younger than most of his peers, he stood out pretty quickly because of his fast adaptability, intelligence, and leadership skills. His academic strengths in military strategy and history were immediately apparent. During his freshman year, Shengelia showed an innate ability to lead his fellow cadets through difficult training exercises. In 2025, Shengelia was selected for an arduous mock counterinsurgency exercise over the Caucasus mountains. The high quality of his decision-making and composed manner under stress impressed both the instructors from the Georgian side and foreign observers present on the spot. His tactical skills and inspiration while working under extreme conditions brought him recognition from his very early service years.

Achievements: In 2025, Shengelia was awarded the Merit Medal for Excellence in Training when, as leader during a simulated rescue mission, he had to conduct a group of cadets through a challenging urban environment and reach a mock hostage. The capability to keep the leadership in this case, combined with his talent to make good decisions right on the spot, marked him among the best and most promising cadets within the academy. Later that same year, Shengelia was selected to participate in an international military exercise in collaboration with NATO forces. His leadership during the exercise led to him being named the Cadet of the Year for the academy, a rare honor for someone so young.

Personal Life Nick's family is important in his life. His mother, Rusudan Shengelia, is a well-known figure in Georgia's business circles.

His hobbies are classical sightseeing, hiking, and running in the mountains of the Greater Caucasus surrounding Tbilisi.
