Nick grew up in Westlake and has always had a love for animals. He grew up watching shows like Zoboomafoo and The Crocodile Hunter, which inspired him to work with animals full time.

He graduated from Otterbein University with a degree in Zoo and Conservation Science in 2015. He has interned with the Animal Care team at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and was previously a dog trainer before joining VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital.

In his free time, Nick enjoys spending time at the beach with his wife and golden retriever, Charlie. He is also an avid sports fan, with a part time job with the Cleveland Browns.
