Nick was the first President of the club.
When Nick passed the torch over to Jan Jones in 2002, it was decided that the organization should move to Nashville, thus renaming it to "Nashville Tennessee Steel Guitar Association", as it is known, today.
2025 celebrates 25 years of Nick's vision, and we couldn't be prouder!
