Biography

Nicholaus Goossen, the grandson of a renowned LAPD homicide detective and son of a Hall of Fame corner man, grew up immersed in his family's San Fernando Valley-based boxing business, "Ten Goose Boxing". However, instead of following in their footsteps, he pursued a career in filmmaking from a young age.

His first on-screen credit came at the age of seventeen, and it was his internship in the camera department on the 1997 New Line feature film, "The Wedding Singer", that led to a multi-decade relationship with Adam Sandler and his production company Happy Madison.

At the age of twenty-six, Nicholaus directed his first feature film at Sandler's company, the cult classic "Grandma's Boy" for 20th Century Fox. His sophomore film, "The Shortcut", is a lesser-known thriller that received a small VOD release via Anchor Bay / Lightning Entertainment.

Since then, Goossen has been busy in the world of television and streaming, writing, producing, and directing several shows and comedy specials, including "Sugar & Toys", "The Story of Our Times", "Adam Sandler - 100% Fresh", "Typical Rick", "Nikki Glaser - Bangin", and "Hot For My Name".

In addition to his work in television and film, Goossen has an extensive body of work in the advertising space, having collaborated with major brands like Planet Fitness, Vitaminwater, and Forever 21. He has recently won a Cleo for his work with the cannabis brand CANN.

Furthermore, Goossen has produced, edited, and directed several hit music videos for artists such as Julian Casablancas + The Voidz, Bhad Bhabie, Dirt Nasty, Kool Keith, and Diplo.
