Biography

My name is Nick, and writing is my life.

I started writing when I was in the eighth grade after being inspired by Theodore Taylor's "The Cay" and due to the encouragement of a friend of mine (who I had a major crush on at the time but that's another story), and I've been telling stories ever since.

I started out trying to write novels before I got interested in comedy in the tenth grade. I was always coming up with jokes, performing stand-up routines, and just trying to make people laugh (to varying degrees of success).

I attended and obtained my Bachelor's in English at the University of Texas at Austin, where I also fell in love with movies. After reading Robert Rodriguez's book "Rebel Without a Crew," I decided that I wanted to try actually making them rather than merely watch them. This newfound love of film also led me to the site Letterboxd where I talk about movies I've seen and where I've written the most consistently up to this point.

Today, I always have projects in the works. I am currently working on a short film script as well as an EP of songs that I wrote and composed most of the music for. I've also shot a music video and am looking to make more of them to get more practice with the camera. I write for an online newsletter based out of Blackpool, England that's targeted at parents who have children on the autism spectrum, which is a topic/issue that is both very personal to me and one that I am passionate about. My dream is to make a full-length feature film, and then to bring to life the adventures of a couple of characters I came up with in high school that I have been trying like crazy to find a way to introduce them to the world ever since.

In general, I like to write coming-of-age and love stories (sometimes there some overlap), but I am always trying to expand to new genres and new challenges. Most of all, I like to tell human stories: one's that talk about everyday, average people who may otherwise never be heard from and show the beauty of everyday life even in the most mundane situations. That's true regardless of what I'm writing whether it's a short story, screenplay, or even a song, and if I am ever lucky enough to draw crowds with my writing in a movie theater or in a concert venue, I want the people there to be able to look around and notice the different kinds of people that are in attendance. I want the conservative Midwestern housewife to be able to sit next to the heavily tatted, heavily pierced, city-dwelling leftist and be able to come together at that moment and see more of what they have in common rather than what they don't. When people begin to realize more what they have in common, the world will become a better place to live, and that's what I hope my writing can help with in some small capacity.

I work hard, give everything I do the attention it deserves, and regardless of your personal opinions about the end product, there will never be any doubt that I gave it a hundred percent. At least, I hope that is never the case. I look forward to any and all opportunities that may come my way and for any chance, I can get to show what I can do as a writer: the only job I've ever wanted to do.
