Nick’s life had many hardships, more so at his school. On being bullied by others in school he got extremely depressed, almost on the verge of attempting suicide before he began to recognize that his feats could inspire many. He learned to write using the two toes, and later on learned to operate computer and type using the “heel and toe” method. With the turn of events, at seventeen, Nick offered speeches to his prayer group and in due course started his non-profit organization, “Life Without Limbs.”

Nick cracks great jokes on the way people react to his appearance. He loves the way kids react at him. On one occasion, a kid shocked at his appearance exclaimed “what happened!” Nick replied – “Cigarettes.” Nevertheless, Nick continues his good work for the disabled and plans to promote his thoughts through his ‘No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!’ to be completed by the end of 2007.
