Growing up, Nicky's first ever Broadway show was The Little Mermaid in the year 2007, he eagerly wanted to be the little boy that played “Flounder”. Not long after, Nicky caught the acting bug at just 10 years old when he got the role of Peter Pan's SHADOW in a summer camp play in Fairfield, Connecticut. From then on, he followed his calling for the stage. By auditioning for plays and musicals throughout middle school and high school, Nicky knew that acting was his ideal vocation.

Recently, he had the honor of teaching 14-17 year olds at R.Evolución Latina's "Dare To Go Beyond" Performing Arts Camp in the summer of 2023. Nicky has a deep passion for passing on what he has learned in his acting experience to children, so that he may continue to inspire others to pursue acting, just like his counselors did for him when he was younger! Above all, Nicky wants nothing more than to connect with audiences.
