He has been climbing for 12 years and has worked at various climbing gyms, managed rope course programs, worked as a Matterhorn climber at Disneyland, and currently as a SPRAT III rope access technician for Ropeworks. He is a member of the Swiss Alpine Club, American Alpine Club, Korea on the Rocks Foreigner Climbing Club, Industrial Rope Access Trade Association, Society for Professional Rope Access Technicians, Ropeworks Rope Access Team Member, Disneyland Matterhorn Climber and Guide for Outback Adventures.

While on a road trip to Colorado a few years back, Nicholas met Kaare Iverson, a photographer, who asked Nicholas to climb wearing shirts from his client so he could take photos. Three years later Nicholas found out Kaare had moved to San Rafael, CA where they reconnected and hatched a plan to climb in the Bugaboos. Their ten day climbing trip consisted of amazing weather, a beautiful campsite, meeting some amazing alpine athletes and climbing some of the classic routes in the Bugs.
