Nikolaus loved skateboarding, snowboarding and golf. He spent many of summer hours on the courses with his father Maury and brother Chris. On those days that Chris was able to be with golfing they had a little brotherly competition. The highlight of his life were his niece and nephew Briella and Brooks. They were the spark of his life. He was waiting for them to grow up so he could teach them to be dare devils. They always knew when Uncle Nik was around, they would have a lot of fun rough housing.
