When you first pickup a camera, your first thought might not be "I'll be taking photos/videos for the professional athletes one day". It definitely wasn't Nick's first thought, but since the day he took his first photo he Kept Moving and look at him now ... Shooting video for the NBA Draft, Nike Canada & many other brands/influencers.

Nick's dream was to play basketball at the D1 level, but after a knee injury that took him out of the game, he had to come up with a new game plan. Still in high school at the time, his dad suggested he tried starting his own business. So, that's exactly what he did. His dad recommend he start a Lawn Aeration business and with the help of one of his buddies, they did just that. Making a couple hundred dollars, it turned out ok, but that was just the beginning to his journey. The story continues to his next job working at Toys R Us, then going to college, then university, then dropping out of university to working part-time at his dad's business. His story took twists and turns over and over again, but Nick said that the key to his success was that he just kept moving.

A lot of people go through some terrible event in their life and simply give up. They lose full hope and never recover. Nick's dream was to play D1 basketball. He transferred over to a Basketball Academy in pursuit of turning his dream into a reality. But then, he blew out his knee ... end of his career. Nick could have called it quits. Just completely given up and thought that his life was finished, he could never play basketball again. He wasn't going to let that happen though.

Nick picked himself up and started a business that maybe he maybe wasn't that passionate about, accepted a part-time position that wasn't an ideal job and then finally tried going the route of school as many others did. Did any of these things work out for him? No. But he wouldn't be where he is today if it weren't for them.

The key to Nick's story was that he kept moving. He tried something, didn't like it and moved on. Some people get stuck in the same position for years before leaving. Nick knew what he wanted and what he didn't, so he continued to search for what he was passionate about, which ended up being Photography/Videography.

He hasn't looked back since.
