Nick joined QCUSA in 2013 following an inspirational talk from international umpire Darryl Harper whilst umpiring at a tennis tournament. Following Darryl’s presentation Nick had no hesitation in joining the cricket umpiring ranks. Through the support of colleagues and experienced umpires, Nick has progressed through the ranks and now mostly umpires First and Second Grade Premier Cricket and was part of the Development Panel for the 2021/22 season.
