Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Nick's love for food grew from his passion for cycling and travel. From age three to fourteen, Nick raced BMX professionally, twice earning NBL Championships, as well as numerous State and Regional Championships. In his late teens, Nick went to work in the food industry for Mid-America Foods, later pursuing a business degree at Southern Oregon University, and eventually moving home to Tennessee.

In 2008, Nick returned to Hood River, Oregon to reignite his cycling career and grow his passions: food and bike racing. A professional athlete with a presence in Enduro Racing, Nick has over 15 years of experience in the food and management industry. Having hoped to align his career with his passions, he had always dreamed of opening his own restaurant and giving back to the community. What was a dream became a reality with the help of family and friends.

Nick is excited to share his food, passions and stories with the community. Stop by and let Nick introduce himself and his latest menu creations!
