About Nicholas:

On September 12, 1996 Nicholas' journey into this world began. He was born with a brain-injury of unknown cause. A testament of determination and human spirit, Nicholas persists with his will to help himself. His keen mind, sure spirit and physical challenges make him even more determined to achieve his potential. Along the way he has gained incredible insights and discoveries he desires to share with others. At a tender 3 years of age, he stated his soul's purpose is to teach God's messages. Fortunately, God granted Nicholas an incredible gift to write. Through his Alphabet Board, he writes exquisite poetry and profound spiritual messages about philosophy, beauty, nature and God. His teachings are pure and simple. His words resonate the power of truth that set one free.

His brilliance came to light through his home-schooling using the How to Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence Program through The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential.

Nicholas was thirsty for knowledge and his Mommy was the Parent Teacher. He learned how to independently read, problem solve and perform math up to algebraic equations using home-made materials.

He has seen thousands of facts about his world following an Encyclopedic Knowledge program. At three years, he was reading 8th grade materials.

His first poem called 'Rare Beauty' about a tree he wrote at the time of his 3rd birthday. We had just finished reading the classic, "The Wizard of Oz" underneath an apple tree when Nicholas' face lit up. He said, "I've got it." I replied "what do you have?" He said I am ready to write a poem. We hurried home and 'Rare Beauty' was born. His world was opening up and he continued to write letters and poetry about thoughts he had not been able to express before this time.
