Nicholas’ fascination with the paranormal dates back to his childhood. He grew up listening to his family telling stories of paranormal activity and did school projects based on the subject while in elementary as well as middle school. After briefly serving in the Coast Guard, he began his journey into the paranormal enthusiast's community by conducting basic research and actively investigating a private location in NC.
Nick eventually joined the North American Paranormal Society where he, over the course of three years, participated in over 60 investigations, attended numerous workshops, and partook in many conversations on the subject. In 2011 he continued his research independently before deciding to take a break. After a 5 year sabbatical, Nick has resumed his quest to unlock the answers to the paranormal as a member of The Ghost Guild. When Nick is not dwelling into the realm of the paranormal, he enjoys surfing, kickboxing, and traveling. Member Since: June 2019
