He was educated in the public schools in Pittsfield. He received a baccalaureate degree in English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (1986). He holds a juris doctor from Boston University Law School, and Master of Business Administration from New York University Stern School of Business.

Upon completing law school, Nuciforo began his career as a law clerk to Frank H. Freedman, chief judge of the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts. Nuciforo served as law clerk until 1992, when he began working as a litigator with the law firm of Posternak, Blankstein & Lund LLP in Boston, Massachusetts.

Nuciforo is a member of the bar in Massachusetts (1989) and New York (1991). He has practiced law, primarily in Massachusetts and New York, since 1992. He also provides merger and acquisition, real estate, strategic communication and other services.

In 2006, Nuciforo did not seek re-election to the Massachusetts State Senate, for a sixth term. He was elected to a six-year term as Register of Deeds for the Berkshire Middle District, seated in Pittsfield. He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary[6] and the general election.[7]

In July 2009, Nuciforo filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission to initiate a 2012 campaign for Massachusetts' first congressional district.

The newly redrawn Massachusetts's 1st congressional district consists of 86 cities and towns in western and central Massachusetts. Springfield, Chicopee, Pittsfield and Holyoke are major urban centers in the district. Nuciforo's old Senate District as well as his current Register of Deeds District is located entirely within the 1st CD.[8]

Nuciforo formally kicked off his congressional campaign on February 8, 2012, with a district-wide tour and an eight-point plan to restore the middle class.[9] The primary election occurred on September 6, 2012. Incumbent Richard E. Neal won the primary with 65% of the vote. Nuciforo placed second, having won the city of Pittsfield and several Berkshire towns. Humorist Bill Shein finished third with 10%.[10]

Nuciforo continues to practice law and consulting, working closely with individual and institutional clients throughout the country. He continues his involvement in the community, including service as a board member of the Berkshire Theatre Group and as a member of the Boston University Law School Executive Committee. He supports a number of non-profit organizations, and a select number of candidates for public office.

In 2015, Nuciforo opened Nuciforo Law Group,[11] with offices in Boston and Pittsfield. The firm provides legal services for individual and business clients, with primary focus on health care, business and real estate law.
