He is best known for his humanitarian works in the Republic of the Philippines and the Republic of Indonesia ,as well as his fondness for tattoos, and his fixation with the heavy metal band Metallica. =Early Life= Nicholas was born at Porter Memorial Hospital, in Valparaiso, Indiana, to parents Marty and Carol Moore, though they would divorce soon after. Though moving multiple times during early childhood, he was able to maintain a close friend base. Total, he switched schools eight times before entering high school. On November 23, 1996, tragedy struck. While home with his mother and then stepfather, Ron Meadows, a fight began, ending with the taking of his mother's life first, then ultimately his stepfather's as well. A little more than a year later in 1998, he discovered his grandmother dead. All this death in his life early on is what inspired him into humanitarian as well as military service. =Education= =Romantic Involvement= =Career= =Humanitarian Services= While serving with 2nd F.A.S.T.
