About Marty Nicholson

From player to coach to administrator, I have been involved with sports for my entire life. Now, I work with athletics at the University of North Carolina Asheville - heading up social media coverage for the men's and women's basketball programs.

My book, "Justice For All! The History of the Justice Center", was published in 2012. It covers the 47 year history of the venerable building where UNC Asheville basketball and volleyball has been played, and details the history of the basketball program. You can purchase a copy by visiting my FriesenPress page:http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000003996429

My writing skills were honed during my undergraduate years in journalism school at the University of Missouri.
