Before law school, he built a career as a journalist, photographer, and publicist covering music, food, and the arts—a background that laid the foundation for his practical, client-focused approach to counseling innovative founder-led businesses.. A proud Husky, he earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington. Outside of work, Nick enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, sampling LA's incredible food scene, playing tennis, and continuing to support local musicians and artists.
