Sober 18 years since 3/31/1989 when he had just turned 17 years old, Nick wanted to make it clear that you can come in young and stay sober.
Nick was born in Memphis, TN and got sober in the Cartersville area. Both his grandfathers died of alcohol related illnesses. His brother now has 10 years in the program. Nick's family does not drink well. His parents divorced when Nick was six. His mom went back to school to become a nurse. They moved to Mobile, AL where Nick started drinking.
Six years before this talk Nick moved to Maui to pursue his dream to live in paradise. He is a nurse by trade. He reports that Maui is indeed the paradise everyone thinks it is.
