Backstory: Nick was born in southern Indiana and then moved to California when he was 10. There he fell in love with the ocean and surfing before starting to play volleyball. He played indoor volleyball for a club, but was forced into a middle position. He liked the game, but hated the larger team and the way that everyone was forced into a specific role. He later discovered beach volleyball and loved the way that is was a two man sport and each player got to play every role. He continued indoor, but started working more on beach. He eventually was accepted into UCLA and played there before starting his professional career after college. His parents went to all his matches and supported him through it all and he is eternally grateful to them for their love and support. He discovered he was gay in college when he caught feelings for another player on his team. He was scared that the other boy wouldn't be gay or would out him so he didn't say anything, but had his first boyfriend his sophomore year and grew more confident in his sexuality after that. He's had a couple more boyfriends since then. He just got broken up with because his last boyfriend of a year because he said he was too boring. Nick feels like he dodged a bullet there because he later found out that his boyfriend was drunkenly cheating on him. He is a little relationship shy, but may be willing to make an exception for you if you play your cards right.
