Nicholas spent over 20 years with the Victoria Police and held the rank of Detective Senior Constable. For his entire life, he has dreamt of climbing Mt Everest and after 14 seasons of skiing and mountaineering throughout North America, Nepal, Tibet and New Zealand, he finally got his opportunity to attempt the climb in 2005. As a member of the ‘Three Man Victoria Police Everest Team’ he reached the summit of Mt. Everest at 10:15am on 31st May 2005, the first Ivanhoe Grammarian to do so.
