About Nick
Nick was born in Mount Clemens, Michigan USA in 1978 by British parents. He moved to the United Kingdom at the age of 4 and grew up in the idyllic coastal region of North Devon with 5 brothers. I know.
In 1998 Nick moved away from the safe & familiar surroundings of country life and his mothers fantastic Cornish pasties to study Advertising in Preston. Since then he has poured drinks for rich people & poor students, sold posters to American High School kids & trash to people in Georgia, designed bedrooms & logos and currently works for a housing charity in Coventry. Settling down frightens him. Green vegetables frighten him.
Nick has climbed mountains and glaciers, represented his County at cross country running & the High Jump (he's a short-arse) & once won a Kareoke competition. He nearly got hyperthermia in Kosovo, has white-water rafted & bodyboarded(badly) and has spent 3 days in Vegas without gambling. He also had a ponytail but is now starting to go baldy.
Nick has two goals in life: to be happy & to make a difference. He hopes that this adventure will fulfill both. He wants to help those who are brave enough to volunteer to serve their country and are wounded whilst doing so, whilst learning more about the real America. He also hopes that his feet don't fall off as he plans on using them for a little while longer. Nick has no idea what he's letting himself in for, and he likes it.
Favourite saying:
"I'd rather be poor & happy than rich & sad. I'm half way there, I'm poor"
