Born in the port city of Camden, New Jersey, the bassist by trade began with an art interest. Sketching on paper a since a pencil could be held steady in his child-sized hand which led to an education in Architecture. At age thirteen, Nick discovered such bands as Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Iron Maiden. As his creative energies began to turn musical, it led him to buy his first musical instrument, an old and battered beginners electric bass.
   After a few primary years of playing in New Jersey area bands Nick joined the heavy metal band Deadly Blessing. Withn one year, they recorded an E.P. and a full-length record for a California-based heavy metal label. Their debut album received high marks and is considered a collectors piece to this day. Following their release, was a short U.S. tour.
   Three years after joining Deadly Blessing, Nick left the band for a life in New York City. This led him to short-lived runs with a few New York area groups. One of which was The Cycle Sluts From Hell but just after parting ways with them, Nick landed the position as bass player for the female metal legend Doro Pesch and has been playing with her ever since. Together with Joe Taylor on guitar, Johnny Dee on drums and Oliver Palotai on keys and guitar, Doro, Nick and the band developed an energetic chemistry to be reckoned with.
   In early 2001, Nick recorded and released his first solo effort. A twelve-song semi-monolog called Through The Pane.  A crossbreed of influences and awkwardness only made possible by the freedom that an independent release could offer. From rock to ballads, technical to organic.
   In late 2004, Immediately following a Doro tour, Nick toured through Europe once more with England's legendary vocalist, Blaze Bayley.
   In mid 2005, Nick joined forces with Savatage and Trans Siberian Orchestra guitarist, Chris Caffery, touring for Chris' acclaimed solo release "Faces".
