Nicholas "Nick" Groff was born on April 19th, 1980, in San José, California. Raised in New England, he's been fascinated with the paranormal since childhood, because of his passion for horror movies and some inexplicable experiences within his home and family. His strong vivacity led him to risk his own life twice within one year, he considers the first and gravest time a near-death experience that made him more sensitive to the supernatural. He then moved to Las Vegas, NV, to graduate with a BA in Film at the University of Nevada (UNLV). During his senior year he got engaged with his high school sweetheart, Veronique Roussel, who also was his partner during his first attempts of paranormal research in Nevada. As their wedding DJ they hired Zak Bagans, who Nick befriended, afterwards the two of them told each other about their individual experiences with ghosts. Then, from working together as DJ and camera operator for weddings, they became a team of young paranormal investigators and in order to make a proper documentary about ghosts they needed to hire one more person. They chose Aaron Goodwin, who Nick had met years before during an UNLV film conference. So, in 2004 the Ghost Adventures Crew was born, when, with no money but full of hopes, the three of them began to travel to the most haunted places in Nevada for their "Ghost Adventures: The Original Documentary" and later got the attention of critics and producers, which allowed them to create their own tv show on Travel Channel. "Ghost Adventures" was his first paranormal tv project, which he co-created, co-hosted and executive produced for ten seasons (2008-2014). He's had many experiences while filming it, the most important of which was when he saw the apparition of a woman at Linda Vista Hospital (Los Angeles, CA) that left a mark on him, definitively convincing him about the existence of the afterlife. He worked on many projects in different fields, from creating his own clothing brand, the "Phantom Collection", to writing his autobiographic book titled "Chasing Spirits: The Building of the Ghost Adventures Crew" (2012). As a singer he released in 2012 two music albums: "The Other Side" and "Spiritual War: Good vs Evil". Through his production company, the Groff Entertainment, he produces some independent music artists besides of his tv projects. Among his past important film projects there are the movie he wrote and directed, "Malevolence" (2004), and the tv shows he executive produced: Travel Channel's "Vegas Stripped" (2012) and Destination America's "Ghost Stalkers" (2014). His dedication for sports and wellness led him to open his own gym and in June 2013 he launched the "Drive Health & Fitness" in Methuen, MA, which he co-owned until August 2015. In 2014 he was an "American Ninja Warrior" competitor and applied again for the 2015 edition, he also raced and won the Boston Spartan Race. On November 24th, 2014 he announced to no longer be a part of the Ghost Adventures Crew and launched the Nick Groff Tour, through which he organizes events to meet his fans and investigate with them in America's most haunted locations. His new show "Paranormal Lockdown" premiered on March 4th, 2016 on Destination America, breaking the ratings records of the network, and was renewed for a second season and moved to TLC. He also broke those records on June 2016 with "Ghosts of Shepherdstown", a 6-part television event on Destination America where he was called to assist the Shepherdstown, WV, police department with his expertise in the paranormal field. Since 2012, he lives in New England with his wife Veronique and their daughters: Annabelle, born on December 2010, and Chloë, born on September 2014. Show less «
