About Me

Picture
Nick is a multi-faceted professional based in New York City, where he works as a fundraiser, songwriter, and professional game master for tabletop roleplaying games.

As a game master for both adults and children, Nick has extensive experience in a variety of systems including Dungeons & Dragons, Monster of the Week, Monsterhearts 2, King Arthur Pendragon, Jim Henson's Labyrinth, Mork Borg, Masks, Psychic Children on the Run from Danger, Kids on Brooms, Lasers and Feelings, and Mouseguard. Across these games, Nick is driven by storytelling and works to create a safe, comfortable, and inclusive space for players regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and ability. His services are available in-person in the NYC area as well as digitally.

​Nick has also been working for years as a songwriter and theater composer, taking his influences from both in and out of the tabletop gaming world. His songs have been seen in various venues across NYC including 54 Below, the Musical Theatre Factory, and Lincoln Center, where he has been featured three times in the Broadway's Future Songbook Series. His musical Royal Fables (2015 New York Innovative Theatre Award nomination for "Outstanding Original Music") was one of four American projects shortlisted for the 2016 KSF Foundation "Artists of Choice" Award. He is also a three-time honoree of the SongDoor International Songwriting Competition.

​
Beyond composing, Nick is a freelance grant writer with over a decade of experience in fundraising for theater, the arts, and New York's disability community. He was also co-founder of Libra Theater Company, an award-winning off-off-Broadway theater with credits including The Thirteenth Commandment by Joshua H. Cohen, Kind Souls by Tom Diggs, and Touch by Toni Press-Coffman.
