As for Nick himself, i see him around our town, Weirton West Virginia regularly riding his motorcycle with his bushy mustache still intact. He works for ted Arneault at Mountaineer Race track and Gaming Resort as a corporate investigator (mtrgaming.com) and still speaks about powerlifting and his plan for a sort of “League” for power lifters is in the works.
