Nick Bare founded Bare Performance Nutrition in 2012 out of his small college apartment in Western Pennsylvania at the Indiana University of PA. During this time, Nick was studying nutrition and on the path to joining the military upon graduation. The company was built upon the values of transparency and service from its early stages of launch, and today remain instilled in the brand's primary mission.

After graduating from college, Nick commissioned into the US Army as an Infantry Officer, where he spent the next four years completing various military training schools, such as Ranger School and Airborne School, before taking his position as an Infantry Platoon Leader stationed out of Texas. During his time in the military, Nick learned the values of leadership, integrity, and team building, which have been directly applied to Bare Performance Nutrition.
