Nick was a fan of Super Sport Cars and motorcycles and without being asked, always made himself available to work on his brother's vehicles. He was an inventor at heart, refurbishing old electrical equipment into new functioning products. His latest project was his computer tower he constructed for his home office and gaming room.
