August 2026 Nick Ranieri

Congratulations to our August WaveMaker of the Month!

How long have you been a member of the OceanFirst Bank team? Yril 2025

What role do you play on the Bank Team? 14 Months at the Customer Care Center and the last 5 months with the Fraud Team serving as a Fraud Analyst.

What has been your favorite volunteer activity – and why? Although I volunteer to help humans as well, my favorite activity is by far my job at the All Fur One Pet Rescue and Adoption Facility. I get to help Dogs and Cats that were rescued or abandoned. We spend time with them to help socialize so they can find a “Furever” home. This has been one of the best experiences of my life. 

What has volunteering taught you? Just that the world can seem crazy at times, but the world is STILL filled with so many amazing people that just want to help make it a better place with no hidden agenda.  

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pizza

How would you spend a million dollars? Buy land so I can start an animal sanctuary

If you had one day left to live, how would you spend it? With my family since nothing else would matter

What is your favorite quote? “It is written……that is the way of the world” The Alchemist

Are you a traveler or a homebody? Homebody for sure!
