Nick is also the goalkeeper for Real Salt Lake who won the MLS Championship this year, beating David Beckham and the LA Galaxy in the final. Check the photo of Nick in action making a save against the Columbus Crew. It’s true it’s a small world – RVCA ANP artists El Mac and RETNA just put up an incredible new mural of the Virgin Mary in SLC that Nick had done a photo shoot in front of – thanks davebrewerphoto.com for the image. Best of luck in the upcoming season Nick.
