Nick's formal firearm training began in 2008 when he joined the United States Army. Nick Spent a year working in Balad, Iraq in 2008-2009, and a year in East Afghanistan in 2011-2012 with the Army's 25th Infantry Division. Since leaving the military has continued to train, and in 2021 he and Jeromy Whelan opened SimShot in Meridian, Idaho.

    "This class was excellent! I felt that safety was of paramount importance, and yet we had lots of excellent instruction and lots of good shooting time. I learned so much from this class - stance, grip, aiming, .... Things that are very practical, and I plan to practice - both while training without ammo and every time I'm at the range with live ammo."

    "Great training,and I would highly recommend the course. It was more than worth the investment and our Simshot instructors Nick and Jeremy were very knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and professional. Safety was the utmost priority and my firearm skillset and mental thinking was greatly improved."
