Life story
December 10, 1977
 

Nick was born Saturday, December 10, 1977.  His first home was an apartment in Maywood, NJ, just a few blocks away from his Godmother, Aunt Joyce, his Uncle Connie and cousins Eric and Adam.  Nick loved visiting the zoo, riding the train and feeding the ducks at near-by Van Saun Park.  He was a huge Star Wars fan and had quite the collection of Star Wars toys and play figures.  He was great at making Leggo models, and loved to draw and read.  Many summer vacations were spent with the Hubert family at the beach in Lavalette.  Nick has 8 cousins -- Zach, Chris, Susannah, GB, Eric, Eric, Adam and Jerard.


In 1982, Nick moved to Dumont with his parents.  He lived in an colonial house with a backyard and wonderful neighbors.  He attended St. Mary’s elementary school which was just 1 block from home.  Throughout those years, Nick took saxaphone lessons, joined the cub scouts and became an altar boy.  He always loved animals, and had a ginea pig, 2 rabbits and a cat named Munchkin while growing up.  Nick took his first trip to Disney World when he was 8 years old. 

After graduating from Dumont High, Nick attended Bergen Community College in Paramus.  Not sure of what he really wanted to do, he left school to work at PriceWaterhouseCoopers in Fort Lee.  Before long, he realized his passion for architecture, and decided to attend New Jersey Institute of Technology.  

Nick’s love in life was always architecture.  He worked hard at NJIT and was on the Dean's List most semesters.  He earned excellent grades, and received honorable mention, along with a monetary reward for his work in a competition sponsored by Hunter Douglas.  He received his bachelor's degree in May 2006.  During his time at NJIT, Nick formed a very special close relationship with his cousin Jerard. 

After graduating from NJIT, Nick moved to Philadelphia to work for Trauner Consulting Services.  Trauner quickly realized his fine abilities, and sent him to help out at their San Diego office for 2 months.  Nick enjoyed his time there; he learned to surf on weekends and took in the sights -- one of his favorite being the San Diego Zoo.

Back in PA, Nick met a young lady who owns and operates Indraloka Animal Sanctuary.  He spent most of his weekends at the Sanctuary, helping to care for the animals and soaking up the peace and tranquility he found there.  He was extremely happy.  Nick attended University of Phoenix online to pursue his Master's degree.  Because of his fine academic (3.92 GPA) and financial standing, he was recently awarded his MBA posthumously.    

Nicholas truly loves his parents, family, step-family, friends, and co-workers.


Please don’t forget the times Nicholas touched your feelings with a spiritual thought.

And please don’t forget the times Nick made you laugh.

 

Thank you for visiting.  Please do so again soon.  This is only a small portion of the many things he enjoyed in life.  It is a work in progress.
