Nick's passion for boating led him to purchase Pier 500 Marina in 1996. Since then, he has been actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the Marina. Over the years, he has built a network of staff and boating enthusiasts who have become like family. In 2016, the Marina was renamed Motor City Marina to attract a new crowd. After more than 25 years, the family has grown into something beyond Nick's wildest dreams.
