Camera Operator, Editor, Audio Engineer, Jack Webster Award Winner, Canadian Media Guild

Nic has always been a creative person. It all started with his passion for rock n roll and guitar playing. In his early teenage years Nic was the frontman for two rock bands in Colombia; Apocalipsys and Agata. Music is a hobby he nurtures in his free time. In 1992 he decided to move to Washington DC. He reaffirmed his musical inclination by studying Recording and Sound engineering in Virginia, USA. He returned to Colombia with his future wife in tow and together they started working in a TV & Video trade publication, she as its Chief Editor and he as her Audio Consultant. That is how Nicolás began his career in the TV industry; first as an audio post engineer for Colombian television and later, when he moved to British Columbia, as the owner and producer of Hola TV, supplying original programming for the Spanish speaking community of Canada.  During the last 14 years, he worked as a videographer for CBC TV news in Vancouver, CBC The National and CTV News Vancouver. Nic has also done extensive work with Corporate videos and Documentaries.
