Nick started as a sportswriter age 14 for The La Jolla Light, doing roundups for youth baseball and softball (early 1970s). More recently, he wrote for The Daily Californian, which covered the East County. But when the paper folded on Jan. 31, 2000, the sports staff created www.EastCountySports.com, where he now works.

He also served 17 seasons as a high school and collegiate volleyball referee, and served as a publicist for several colleges.

Nevada residents also know Nick as a pro hockey expert, writing the NHL column for Gaming Today (where he also served as a columnist and copy editor).

Other writing gigs have included The San Diego Union-Tribune, North County Times (including time with the Escondido Times-Advocate before the merger), the San Diego edition of the Los Angeles Times, The Imperial Valley Press, and many other publications throughout the western United States.
