A Southern Nevada native, Nick formerly worked for more than a decade in newspapers, writing and editing content for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and in state government, where he taught residents and board members of homeowners associations how to comply with the law and try to resolve differences. In his spare time, Nick enjoys watching obscure movies, reading nonfiction, running marathons, and restoring his ’40s-era house in downtown Las Vegas, which he shares with his fiancée, Patty.
