A sports-loving film buff with a flair for storytelling, video producer Nick Patterson finds relaxation in biking around Manhattan and the Flint Hills, savoring PB&Js and exploring small Kansas towns. His passion for the cosmos is matched only by his aversion to soda of all kinds, which he finds universally unappealing.

With a reputation amongst friends for a memorable streaking incident (!!!) and a penchant for earning cash on dares, Nick is known to his family as “Nicholas,” although his adventurous exploits might not always win their approval. He maintains that in a Hunger Games scenario with animals, a hippo would reign supreme — big, ferocious and amphibious.

Nick shares a love for Harry Potter, sushi and Lord of the Rings with several colleagues, and he is particularly appreciated for his imaginative video productions and willingness to serve as the office barista. Although he claims not to have any hidden talents to unveil (perhaps he’s had enough unveiling?), he might just hold the record for the most viewings of Oppenheimer. And while he doesn’t have a pet of his own, he occasionally helps out with his roommate's cat (“which I did not sign up for”).
