Nick has beautiful thick curly hair when he let it grow out although he chose to keep it cut short along with his current beard he took precise care to grow and groom. He had a nickname, King Neptune (Poseidon) at one of his jobs about his long red wavy beard that he chuckled about. He played baseball, basketball and soccer as a child in Anderson and Chesterfield communities in Indiana and in Goodyear, Arizona as well. He was on his high school track and swim teams and liked to swim and dive. He was an above average gifted learner and skilled in math. He attended Ball State University for a short time then chose the Electrician trade as a career in which he began building solar energy systems for the electrical energy grid in Arizona and chose travel jobs as he proceeded in his trade. Hard work and dedication towards his profession succeeded his endeavors up to highly skilled management positions in which one of his more recent accomplishments was the construction of the worlds largest backup battery station in Tampa, Florida that gave him current satisfaction in success at his career. He enjoyed traveling and exploring new places. Music and singing gave Nick joy in life from singing along with the radio to singing karaoke with his friends and family to favorite tunes. Nick has a most dynamic harmonious singing voice. He was a perfectionist as his clothes, hygiene, cooking and work were all too detailed and not complete until he felt it was not left without any room for improvement. He was savored in grilling and was a master chef at cooking as anyone who knew him was honored with his gift of cooking great food and his delight in serving to those he loved. After a long day of cooking he would enjoy late night talks about life and his dream of starting his own electrical construction company. He had a heart of gold which showed compassion towards all. He truly loved with all his heart and had the biggest compassionate forgiving soul! He loved fully and unconditionally no matter who you were, you were a friend to him. He was always optimistic and looking at the positive things even when things were very difficult. He helped others no matter what he was going through himself. He took pleasure in doing things to make people smile and laugh. His daughter, Evelyn was his sunshine who he loved more than anything in this world.
