[b]Background:[/b]  Nick has studied Martial Arts since he was five years old. At age 12 he received his first black belt in Chinese kempo karate. By age 15, he was introduced to the sword and fell in love with the elegance and grace a person with a finely crafted sword can be. He trained with a local master in St. Etienne  in the way of the sword; mind, body and sword until he became qualified to be called a sword master or the Japanese term, "Kensei". He received this status just prior to the Dominion War.

Nick was born in Saint Etienne (Saint Stephen, European Alliance) in 2352. His parents worked in politics, but his family had all worked at the Weapons Manufacturing industry in St. Etienne; [i]Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne(MAS)[/i]. French is Nick's native language, but he learned to speak English and German in school as well as Linguacode. He has since learned some Bajoran after serving in Star Fleet. After graduation from High School, he attended Star Fleet academy in San Francisco and was commissioned as an Ensign working in Operations (Pilot/Navigations). He excelled in combat skills from shooting to hand to hand combat; with swords being his specialty, but there is rarely a need for this level of weapons skill. 

Nick was initially assigned as a pilot aboard the USS Musashi (NCC-71809), [i]Sovereign class heavy explorer[/i]. He was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade aboard the Musashi. He spent four years aboard the [i]Musashi[/i] before being reassigned to Starfleet Operations at the Academy in San Francisco. Nick was promoted to Lieutenant (O3) shortly after returning to the Academy to work in Operations under Admiral Lefebvre. He served at the Academy in various capacities including teaching assistant for three years.
