A die hard Cleveland Browns fan, Nick supported his Browns come what may in the good times and not so good, Nick was loyal to his Browns. Nick also had a wide range of interests, hobbies, and skills most of which required a keen mind, such as pool, chess and martial arts, as well as a steady hand and precision accuracy when enjoying his other passions such as darts, archery, knife throwing, or shooting at the gun range.
