He’s a journalist, music producer and musician, but is probably known best for being the husband of American journalist Mina Kimes.
Early life and education

He was mostly focused on his education while growing up, as he was urged by his parents to study well so that he could eventually pursue a college degree.
Nick became interested in music when he was around 11 years old, after having attended a concert with his parents, and became interested in journalism while attending a local high school; he was physically more or less active during his teenage years, as he enjoyed playing a couple of sports with his friends, including soccer and basketball.

He attracted a lot of attention in 2006, when he wrote the article “Do You Want to Kiss Me?”, about the nightlife in New York City, and the people known as pick-up artists. Many people were dissatisfied with his representation of party people in his article, and even asked him to quit being a journalist.
He has been focused on music since the mid-2000s, and has been working as a drummer and music producer; Nick was a member of the trio Mr. Dream for a short period of time – they released one album: “Trash Hit”.

The two were spotted spending time together in public on a number of occasions, and they exchanged vows in 2015, in a private ceremony attended by many of their friends and family members.
Nick and Mina don’t have children together, and this is believed to be because they both want to focus on their careers, however, they do have a pet dog, Lenny.
