Nicolas is an award-winning fight choreographer based in San Diego, CA, a member of the Society of American Fight Directors, and a firm believer that stage combat is an art form that should not only serve but elevate the story of any production safely.

As a choreographer, Nicolas makes it his mission to help the actors succeed in telling their story effectively, regardless of the skill level they begin with.
