He enjoyed spending quality time with family and friends, and cherished the simple things. Nick grew up on a farm in Portage la Prairie, which gave him a great appreciation for the outdoors, and he especially enjoyed travelling, cycling, fishing and hiking. He graduated with his PhD in Neuropharmacology and dedicated his life to scientific research, always seeking new challenges.
