Nick was born in Rosemont, Illinois on December 22, 1984, where he was also raised. Active in school plays at a very young age, it wasn’t too long until he shot his first film. At the age of thirteen, he wrote, directed and starred in what would be his first attempt at making a movie. He used his father’s camcorder and edited on a VCR. A couple years later, with no budget and in true guerilla style with the help of family and friends, Nick completed his first short film, “Takedown.” The film tells the story of two lifelong friends that are undercover cops. They infiltrate the Chicago Mob, and before they realize it, one of them begins to get more involved than he should. “Takedown” garnered many awards at various high school film festivals, and got Nick a scholarship to Columbia College Chicago, where he graduated in 2007. While at Columbia, Nick directed many short films, most notably “Hope” which won him an award at the Boston Film Festival. Nick has also directed and edited music videos for various local artists here in Chicago. In 2006 he re-shot a 90-minute version of “Takedown,” in hope to receive financing for a big budget version that he hopes to one day make.

He then began work on This Town. his biggest goal with the production was to make a movie that spoke to people he grew up around. He wanted to portray the people and environment of This Town in a real and authentic way. Nick was accustomed to working mostly on his own, so collaborating with a group of passionate people was something he also looked forward to.

Currently Nick is entering pre-production on a film he wrote called Angie. Nick says his father’s encouragement and belief in him is what provides him his drive. Nick is also working on Mike North's new music Video Caucasianman due out in Sept 2010
