Cocky, arrogant. Not really a bad guy, just likes to act like one.His holier than thou attitude comes from his parents, they pampered and dotted on him, telling him he was destined for greatness; and him knowing that he was great, period. Friendly and polite, in his own way.

Nicky; as he likes to be called. Is a spoiled only child. He began skating at an earily age; three. And excelled to the top ranks. Never quite reaching the top step of the podium. This was supposed to be his year, competiting in the Olympics, winning a medal. Alas it wasn't meant to be. In March Nicky suffered a server knee injury and has been rehibilitating his knee, in hopes of returning for the 2002-2003 season.

When his coach refused to aid in his wants for a speedy recovery he fired her. Now to be coach by Parker Janson, one of his idols, and moving to Oceanside.

He plans on competing through the 2005-2006 season, but after that he will retire to pursue acting. In October 2005 he married his longtime girlfriend Anastasia Yurchikova.
