Associate
Nick has a passion for iconic buildings that create an exceptional atmosphere and contribute to the unique feel and flavor of a city. His work on Cincinnati Union Terminal’s restoration has established GBBN as a trusted partner in the revitalization of one of the country’s most beautifully designed landmark buildings. When he’s not keeping history alive architecturally, he’s doing it musically, kicking back with his turntable and a collection of vinyl records that spans musical eras and genres—from Sinatra and Coltrane to Led Zeppelin and The National.
