I met Nick about ten years ago and marveled at his determination to overcome challenges with his voice as the result of a snowboarding accident in 2003. We invited him to speak during our Dysphonia International Symposium on April 29, 2023 in the Detroit area. Nick is an excellent speaker who delivered an inspiring, motivating and entertaining speech. He told his personal story about surviving a snowboarding accident and how he had to learn to walk, talk and eat on his own all over again. He talked about using the S.T.E.P. system to instill the power of belief, support of family and the human spirit to conquer a traumatic situation. Nick is an engaging motivational speaker.
