In 2004 Nick's Father and Mother signed him up for a 40 week acting and modeling school in Sacramento, Ca with the company John Robert Powers. While at the school Nick got to audition for several companies and agencies, until 2005 when his parents divorced and was forced to put that dream on hold. Nick attended Lodi High School in Lodi, Ca, where he graduated in 2009. After graduation he left for the Navy until being discharged in 2013.
