Nick Korstad, who is originally from Portland, Oregon, fell in love with lighthouses when he was in middle school. When Borden Flats Light in Fall River, Massachusetts, came up for sale via government auction in 2010, Nick saw a great opportunity. He achieved his dream of public access when he opened the lighthouse for overnight stays in 2013.

Big Bay Point Lighthouse on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has been privately owned since the early 1960s and it was has been converted into a bed and breakfast inn. Since 2018, Nick has been the resident owner.

In recent years, Nick has spearheaded the restoration of Browns Head Lighthouse on Vinalhaven Island in Maine. In 2022, a nonprofit group called the Friends of Browns Head Lighthouse was formed, with the goal of opening it to the public for overnight stays next year. Much work has already been completed. At the end of 2023, Nick was elected president of the American Lighthouse Foundation.
