Nick received his B.S. in Information Systems and Decision Sciences from Louisiana State University in 2006 and worked as a systems analyst for the Louisiana Division of Administration for two years before attending law school. He graduated cum laude from Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 2011. During law school, Nick was a quarterfinalist in the Ruby R. Vale Interschool Corporate Moot Court Competition and served as a judicial extern for the Honorable John L. Weimer, Associate Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.

After completing law school, Nick had the honor of serving as a law clerk to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana under the Honorable Tom Stagg. Nick is admitted to practice before all state and federal courts in Louisiana, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
