I am an American reality television personality, best known for competing in Big Brother 19 and winning The Amazing Race 30 with my then fiancée Jessica Graf. Previously, I served in the United States Air Force and United States Marine Corps.
I was born in Lake Mills, Iowa and later resided in Plano, Texas. My mother is Darcy Nickson and I have a daughter named Paisley Nickson. Before Big Brother I joined the United States Air Force at the age of 17. I served as a 2M0X2 and 1N0X1 in the Air Force before enlisting in the Marines as an 0311 at the age of 23. I have also served combat tours in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars with a degree from Collin College in business management.
