Career
After spending time in Andrew College and Birmingham–Southern College, Nasco made eight appearances for Panama City Pirates in the USL Premier Development League.

In 2012, Nasco caught an eye of the Atlanta Silverbacks coaching staff at the team's first open combine and on March 21, Nasco signed a professional contract with the Silverbacks.[1] On May 16, Nasco made his professional debut in a 3–0 loss to the Puerto Rico Islanders.[2]
