In the interest of Balance (and as a card-carrying Libra!) I'd like to begin Nick's testimonial with his negative qualities, but as far as I've experienced, he doesn't HAVE any!! The worst things I can say about Nick are that he lives too far away from me, and that he's such a dedicated student. LOL!!

Truly, Nick is THE SHIT!! As an old codger, I used to sometimes worry a little about the fate of our world when I met young people, but no longer!! If a mere handful of his generation are even a hint as excellent as Nick, the future's gonna SHINE!! Nick is THAT awesome, I kid you not. Kind, generous and optimistic, Nick is brilliant without being condescending (no mean feat for one of the brightest individuals I've ever met!), motivated without being judgey, and curious to the point of infectiousness. This is an individual living an examined life, and having fun in the process- I couldn't be more delighted and honored to be alive and sharing the Earth with so marvelous and beautiful a soul!!

I often tell folks my 'super power' is that I know exceptional individuals. Nick is undeniable proof of this!! Even without so vast a variety of talents (did I mention he's a kick-ass DJ, a gifted scientist and can dance like a fiend?), Nick's boundless energy, natural intelligence and obvious devotion to the concepts of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect reveal him to be a profound Gift to us all, and clear evidence of a loving, benevolent and ingenious Creator. Thank you, Nick, for being Here Now, and for shining so brightly- you are an inspiration and a joy, and I am fortunate indeed to know you!!

Admiringly, Lovingly and Appreciatively,
Major Tom
