Experience
Nicholas has written professionally since he graduated from college in 2018 and decided to turn his passion for technology into a career. Since then, Nicholas has written all sorts of tech content, from guides and reviews to hardware recommendations. After joining Static Media in 2022, Nicholas has found that the work continues to stay fresh and interesting, as the variety of content he can produce has no bounds. And he finds that writing about a piece of tech he previously had no interest in buying, more often than not, leads to him giving it a second a chance and ending up loving it.
Education
Nicholas graduated with a B.A. in History with a minor in Russian Studies from East Carolina University. He believes the analytical skills he acquired through his research endeavors as a historian allow him to get to the bottom of any story, no matter the difficulty.
