Biography:

Nick grew up hunting and fishing in Montana with his parents. It was with them he developed a love for the sport of precision shooting. His mother, Zona, worked with a man who introduced Nick to NRA high-power rifle competition. Nick also participated in NRA Bullseye Pistol Leagues where he found his niche. He was the four-time aggregate Collegiate Pistol Champion in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and was the NRA National Rifle Junior Champion in Camp Perry, Ohio in 2008.

Nick joined the Army World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) in 2012 and currently trains at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He’s a World Cup medalist in both pistol and rifle disciplines, a very rare accomplishment.

When Nick competed at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, he was a recent college graduate and the youngest member of the men’s free pistol field at age 23. He made his return at the Games at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics where he competed in air pistol, this time as a husband, a father, and a sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve.
