Nick is especially passionate about the pro bono initiatives he supports. Nick served as a student attorney over five intensive, week-long clinics with the Tribal Wills Project during law school, and he has excitedly remained involved after graduation as a supervising attorney. Nick also served as a student attorney in the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic his second and third years of law school and received “Most Outstanding Student Attorney” after his fourth semester of service.

When not studying emerging technologies or enjoying Denver’s welcoming legal community, Nick spends most of his time rock climbing, skiing, practicing Mandarin, making electronic music, reading fantasy and sci-fi, enjoying tea, listening to breakbeat and metalcore, or watching films as a pre-screener for his hometown film festival.
