Nick is an award-winning broadcast journalist whose versatility and journalistic excellence have made him a trusted voice in the industry.

He caught the news bug in high school when he was asked to broadcast the weekly school announcements.

Believing he found his calling, he became hooked and worked his way through University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee journalism school while anchoring and reporting news with the largest radio station in Wisconsin.

After graduating and five years of progressively honing his technical and news writing skills, he was given the dream opportunity to relocate from the Midwest to cover news in the nation’s capital, where he is thriving as a news anchor and journalist with WTOP.

Now he can be heard covering developing and breaking news stories on the most listened-to station in and around the nation’s capital.
