Nick has a lot of experiences under his belt aside from wrestling. For example, this ex-bassist for the band Apathy that rocked the Motor City from '95 to '99 had quite an underground following. In fact, he honors touring buddies Sevendust by using their song Black as his entrance theme. He also opened for the famous band with local roots, Live. In fact, Ed Kowalczyk was his motivation to head back to his birthplace of York, hence the subsequent move here in late '99.

As to inspirations, he sites The British Bulldogs, Mick Foley, Capt. Lou Albano, Bubba Ray Dudley, Al Snow, Rhyno, Bradshaw, and the Undertaker. Locally he is a great admirer of Max Thrasher, Glen Osbourne, Bodacious Brad, Dj Danzar, Night Prowler, Y-kushi, Arkham, The Fenix, Johnny Graham and Jack Hammer. He wrestles primarily for the SWO, but you can also see him in a lot of WWWA matches as well.
