Nicholas grew up in Big Bend, Wisconsin - a small suburb about 25 miles from Milwaukee. Upon completion of high school, Nicholas decided to take some time off to pursue his musical endeavors. After playing with a few different musical groups and playing concerts around the US, he decided to return to school for a higher education.
Initially, Nicholas was planning to study network administration but after a semester decided he was better suited as a web developer. After two years, Nicholas would receive his Associate's Degree in Visual Communications, a Web Designer Technical Diploma and a Graphic Technologies / Web Development Certificate.
After working for the Milwaukee based GS Design, Nicholas has relocated to Seattle and now works for the Seattle based interactive agency POP, as a front end web developer.
