Nick Stern

Nick Stern is a writer from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who has been creating stories ever since he was too distracted to pay attention in grade school. Nick attended Ithaca College, where he earned a degree in Cinema Production and Music. He is now based in Los Angeles, and has worked on a variety of shows (and across several departments), including Modern Family, Home Economics, Nathan For You, and The Mindy Project. Nick is an avid traveler. He’s explored only a small fraction of the world, but constantly dreams of his next trip. He’ll rarely say “no,” having learned personally that anything — swimming with sharks, being chased by monkeys, forgetting to hydrate on a booze cruise — can lead to a good story. (It also helps that his fiancé writes for a travel magazine, so it’s never a long wait until the next opportunity.) When Nick isn’t writing or venturing out to see the world, you’ll likely find him doing his next favorite thing: listening to and performing music. Whether he’s at home or in a live venue, it is safe to say that music is always a presence in his life. He finds that music is very expressive, similar to storytelling. And in jazz – Nick’s genre of choice – he believes when a performer takes a solo, it’s often accomplished in a structurally similar way to a three-act story. Nick’s satirical lens of the world often puts a smile on his friends and family, even in the darkest of times. He hopes to soon be staffed on a television show with his writing partner, where he can combine his outlook on life with his experiences to craft stories for the audiences around the world.
