Nick was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and began playing guitar at sixteen out of sheer boredom. Finding it easier to write his own songs than to learn those of others, he started his first original band later that year. Nick would play guitar or sing in many bands over the next several years, cutting records with The Cusacks and Kira's Rage. Two years after the breakup of Kira's Rage, he decided he was ready for another go around playing with a group and began searching for the pieces that would eventually become the first version of Kings of Last Call. The band, as it is today, is the band he's always wanted to be in. Nick is also a librarian. Really.
