His friends might describe him as being on the introverted side, but get into a one-on-one conversation with Nicholas and touch on either of his two biggest passions — music or movies — and he’s off to the races. Having played, recorded and toured in bands for years, music is Nicholas’ first love. “But it’s hard to make a living doing music,” he said. “So when deciding what to do for college, I thought it was best to have a backup. I was always the artsy kid in my family, and I was a huge movies and theater kid in high school.” Nicholas graduated from Michigan State University majoring in film and minoring in theater. He’s now putting those skills to use for M3 clients, assisting with video, photo and web projects.
