Nicholas grew up in Big Bend, Wisconsin - a small suburb about 25 miles from Milwaukee. He grew up with a diverse array of interests including sports, computers, video games, and music.
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 to be a network administrator but after a semester decided he was better suited to be 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. He now works for the Milwaukee based GS Design as a front end web developer.
