DJ Nichols is an attorney on the senior leadership team for Great Wolf Lodge, a multi-state hospitality company founded in Wisconsin. In his role at Great Wolf, DJ works with leaders across 22 states focusing on employment law, compliance, strategic planning, commercial liability and litigation, risk management, and project management.

In our community, DJ is a weekly volunteer at Christine Ann, is on the Board of Directors and a tutor for the Winnebago Area Literacy Council, and has served on the Oshkosh Plan Commission.

DJ grew up in Kentucky and earned both his bachelor’s and law degrees from the University of Louisville. He and his husband Lee moved to Oshkosh for Lee’s job as a surgeon at Aurora. They have two dogs (Karen and Benji), and were quick to fall in love with Oshkosh. You can find them boating on Lake Winnebago or walking the Wiouwash Trail in the summer, visiting the Paine anytime of year, or ice fishing in the winter.

DJ views the role of City Council like a Board of Directors: setting and measuring goals and priorities for the City and the City Manager. He is a firm believer in whatever gets measured, gets improved. DJ believes the first step to building and maintaining trust with residents is to identify metrics and standards that can be communicated and tracked, show which City processes need to be adjusted, and inform Council on how to shift goals and priorities.
