Bio:
The last child in a family of seven, Nick was born into law
enforcement. His father worked as the state D.A. before being
appointed to the bench. Two years ago, Nick’s father was
appointed to the Texas State Supreme Court. Nick’s mother has
spent her entire adult life working as a public defender. They
have been happily-married for 45 years. With one brother and
five sisters, Nick had a lot of people looking out for him.
Maybe that’s why everything feels so personal to Nick. He has no
distance from his work because he’s always been close to people.
Where Sara struggles with relationships, Nick can’t help
himself. Being with and around people is so easy for him. What’s
hard is balancing the unspoken but competing perspectives of his
parents. He wants to live up to their expectations, and becoming
a CSI was one way of finding a compromise. Being a cop was too
much for his father. As a CSI, he’s objective. He still has
social responsibility to uphold, but does his job without an
agenda. The evidence speaks and everyone has to respect what it
says, both public defenders as well as judges on the bench. Nick
could still be in Texas, but he chose to move two states over.
There’s a part of Nick that loves his family and his family
name, but there’s a part of him that wants to be on his own, to
lay down his own roots and establish his own identity. What he’s
finding is that roots don’t take quickly. Growing them is a slow
process fraught with mistakes…and Nick isn’t finished.
