His mother worked as general counsel for the state Department of Social Services and his father is a well-known attorney who took on the video poker industry. It was those early experiences and the stories told around the dinner table that sparked an interest in the law.

Following graduation, he worked for a Columbia defense firm, Walker Reibold, before spending two years as a law clerk for the Honorable Richard Gergel. After his clerkship, he joined RPWB as an associate attorney in 2014.

Nickles is an avid golfer. In high school, he was a member of the AC Flora High School golf team that won a state championship and later played for his college team at Washington & Lee.
