Born and raised in the countryside of Visalia, California, Corey Nickols grew up playing in rivers, building forts in the surrounding fields and feeding his neighbor's horses. He filled his days building rockets, discovering music and increasing his boy like wonder for life and people. At the age of 8 he created his first photo album made up of his loving family with adventures involving a station wagon, run down campsites and a trailer with beer cans for hubcaps. As Corey continued to grow, so did his curiosity for creating. He attended an art school where he spent a few years in darkrooms, studios and on location exploring and entertaining his craft. Currently Corey resides in Los Angeles. When not working, he enjoys volunteer work, punk music, ideas on philosophy and theology, making kombucha, learning Japanese, snowboarding, quantum mechanics, making soap and playing golf.
