We met each other in theater at Martin High School. We hung out in the same crowd some times, but since we were in different grades and had different hobbies, we weren't very close. Although we POSSIBLY found the other to be quite cute. ;) We lost touch for a bit in college, since Nick was at the University of Evansville and Nicki attended University of North Texas. It wasn't until after college when Nicki was living in LA and Nick was in grad school at ACT in San Francisco that we got back in touch. There was a high school reunion-type Christmakuh party over the hollidays (Thank you Julie Painter!) where we talked for about 2 hours straight and reconnected and caught up. There was about a 2 week window that we were both single at the same time. (This was the ONLY time that had happened since knowing each other.) Nick rode his motorcycle from San Francisco to LA to visit Nicki and we decided it was a good idea to remain friends and date other people. As friends we kept in touch and supported each other's work and endeavors, so much so that we created Gearhead Garage, our passion project that combines Nick's acting and love of cars, and Nicki's love of filmmaking and photography! Fast forward a few years down the line and we both found ourselves to be single, once again, at the same time. And this time we both knew that this time it was right. We were finally in the right place, at the right time and with each other. We both felt that this was where we were meant to be and we were determined to find a way to make it work with our crazy jobs and passions and create a life together. And so we did.
