After working for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salt Lake for a few years, Nick attended the University of Montana School of Law where he earned a Juris Doctorate degree with Honors. While concurrently enrolled in law school, Nick completed substantial undergraduate work at the University of Montana's School of Business towards a Master's of Business Administration – he is currently working towards its completion. Subsequently, Nick received a merit based scholarship to study taxation at the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle, where he earned a Masters of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.). Upon graduation, Nick practiced with the Missoula, Montana firm of Bjornson Law Offices, P.C. before joining Garlington, Lohn & Robinson, PLLP in January of 2010.
