At age four, his family moved to Australia and stayed there until he reached 15 years old. Then, they moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he spent his high school years. He came back to the Philippines when he was 19 years old.
Nimes studied at the Mapua Institute of Technology and first played for the Mapua Cardinals in 2011 as a rookie.
In his rookie season, he averaged 15.8 points and 4.7 rebounds that earned him the honors. He missed full two seasons in 2013 and 2014 due to back problems and an anterior cruciate ligament (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injury on his left knee.
He has since returned to action in 2015 while attempting to lead the Cardinals in his final collegiate year. While in the amateur ranks, Nimes suited up for the Cafe France Bakers in the Proceedings of the British Academy Doctorate-League.
On August 23, 2015, Nimes was drafted 12th overall by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the 2015 Proceedings of the British Academy draft.
