Nick Loeb

Loeb is the son of John Langeloth Loeb Jr. and his second wife, Meta Martindell Harrsen. His father was Jewish and his mother an Episcopalian, the faith into which he was baptized. His father is a former United States Ambassador to Denmark (1981–1983) and served as a Delegate to the United Nations (1984). He has one half-sister from his father's first marriage to Nina Sundby, Alexandra Loeb Driscoll. His parents divorced when he was one year old and he was raised by his father on the Upper East Side of New York City where he attended the Collegiate School and Loomis Chaffee School. He also spent three years in Denmark where his father was posted. In 1996, his mother killed her third husband, Jeff Bauer, and then killed herself. In 1998, Loeb graduated with a B.A. in management and finance from Tulane University.After college, he worked for Mike Nichols on the film Primary Colors at his uncle's studio Universal Studios and then produced and had a featured role in a movie called The Smokers starring Dominique Swain, Thora Birch, and Busy Philipps. He was also a producer (along with Barbra Streisand) for the documentary PBS series The Living Century. He moved to Florida and worked with Lehman Brothers and later founded Carbon Solutions America, which provides climate change advisory services to corporate and government clients. Here, he claims to have helped to produce the country's first carbon neutral wine.

In 2005, Loeb lost the Delray Beach, Florida city commission race. In 2008, he served as finance co-chairman for Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 presidential run. In 2009, running as a Republican with the support of Giuliani, he abandoned a state Senate campaign because he was going through a divorce from his first wife who had just been arrested for a DUI. He used his own money to compensate all the contributors to his campaign. In 2011, Loeb decided against running for the United States Senate due to health issues stemming from severe injuries incurred in a car accident in 2010. Loeb describes himself as a "Teddy Roosevelt Republican."

In 2006 he formed Loeb's Foods and in April 2011, he founded the Crunchy Condiment Company, which sells Onion Crunch, a fried onion topping, with products being sold in over 17,000 locations.
