Nick bodybuilder is an American IFBB professional wheelchair bodybuilder who currently resides in the city of Ottawa, Canada. As a teenager, he loved to play football and soon started to make a name for himself as a daunting American football player. However, the car accident soon moved his life into another direction. The doctor told him that he was paralyzed from the waist down and would barely be able to walk. This incident made him gravely depressed and hit him so hard that he started adding a lot of weight. He went from 165 pounds to more than 300 pounds.
Things took a turn when he started to go to the gymnasium with his brother to lose weight and ended up finding a new sense of purpose in his life.
