Get to Know Me

Having lived in the Midwest, on the East Coast, and on the West Coast before making my home in Evergreen, I know what a special place Colorado is.
 
I was born in Michigan, grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, and went to school at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. At Tufts, I graduated cum laude with both my Bachelor's (in Quantitative Economics and International Relations) and Master's (in Economics) Degrees in four years. I also had the privilege to play varsity football, study for a summer in the French Alps, and spend a semester at la Université Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris. After college, I moved to Colorado for the first time and spent a year in Vail as a ski bum, waiter, and musician. Though I fell in love with the mountains and the Colorado lifestyle, I decided (for reasons I still don't understand) to go to law school. I earned my Juris Doctorate from the Gould School of Law at the University of Southern California, graduating near the top of my class. After law school, I spent twelve years practicing law in Los Angeles at a number of large national law firms, eventually becoming a partner in the Litigation Group at Holland & Knight LLP, doing primarily high-profile internal investigations and white-collar defense work. But Colorado was calling and eventually I moved my practice to Denver.
​
With a growing family and unsustainable travel and work demands, I made the decision to retire from the practice of law and pursue a new career in real estate (which, it turns out, is way more fun than practicing law) with the goal of offering my clients exceptional service, dedication, loyalty, and expertise - beyond their expectations.
 
As a former attorney, I know what it means to represent a client zealously, competently, loyally, and with their best interests at heart and I firmly believe that everybody deserves that type of service from their real estate agent too. I spend every day trying to live up to that higher standard. I'd like to think that's why I've quickly become one of the top producing real estate agents in the Denver foothills.
​
But it's not all about work! At home, I'm a proud husband and father of three young children, who all love the foothills lifestyle almost as much as I do. On any given day you'll find us hiking, biking, skiing, or fly fishing and enjoying all of the outdoor activities that Evergreen and Colorado have to offer.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I unfortunately had to sell my condo in Evergreen rather quickly during a time in 2023 where interest rates were climbing and buyers were not necessarily looking to purchase condos. I decided to work with Nick due to his stellar reputation in the community as well as his knowledge of the Evergreen market and surrounding mountain areas. It was a bonus that he is also knowledgeable about the Denver metro a...
