After graduating from high school in Mooresville, North Carolina in 2008 Nicholas began attending community college in Huntsville, Alabama with the intentions of someday attending Palmer College of Chiropractic. Nicholas moved back to Iowa in 2012 and continued his undergraduate schooling at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Nicholas worked as a Sales Floor Team Leader at Target while attending Kirkwood until 2014 when he took a new job at the ground transportation company Limolink. 

In 2016 Nicholas was accepted into the Doctor of Chiropractic program at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Having been a strong believer in the self-healing power of the human body since he was first adjusted by Palmer chiropractor in 2008, Nicholas had always had his eyes set on becoming a chiropractor. Nicholas wanted to get the most out of his time at Palmer so he took advantage of the schools preceptorship program. For his final term Nicholas underwent an internship under Dr. Aaron Martin at Iowa Chiropractic Clinic in Ankeny, Iowa. In June of 2020 Nicholas graduated from Palmer Summa Cum Laude. Nicholas was the Valedictorian of his class and achieved an award for Academic Excellence for making the deans list of the college for every term of the Doctor of Chiropractic program. Nicholas believes deeply in chiropractic and wants to help spread the amazing benefits chiropractic brings.
