Nick retired as Chief of Police for the City of Mayfield Heights in 1992. His love of the water led him to join The Lake County Yacht Club, then The Westlake Yacht Club. He served as The Commodore for both clubs. He was also a member of The Greater Cleveland Boating Association, where he served as The Commander in 1989.
