Nicholas Remas, III is the pseudonym of the American author, Bryan Arthur Ungurath. He is the author of the young adults novel, To Love the Phaleonopsis. He was also published in the Long Island anthology, Long Island Sounds.

Early Years
Remas was born Bryan Arthur Ungurath on 13 June 1986 to Alan Scott Ungurath (b. 28 July 1966) and Rachael Maria Ungurath (born Martha Rachael Ayoung on 27 June 1966) in New Hyde Park, Queens, New York at 11:32 pm. His twin sister, Bianca Deanna was born two minutes later. His parents would have two more daughters, Belynda Alexandrea (b. 12 August 1992) and Blossom Marie (b. 13 June 1995), before they divorced (1998). Remas moved throughout Suffolk county of Long Island, living in Huntington, Huntington Station, and Selden.

Remas is a God-fearing man. His belief in God, he attributes to his mother's fervent beliefs. While in elementary, he frequently gave sermons during his lunch. He gave the sermon for his father's baptism into Mormonism. While at the Long Island Christian Center (LICC), he also gave a Father's Day sermon, which his father attended after his parents' divorce. It was his will to do God's work that he felt that he should study to be a doctor.

Remas at first wanted to be an obstetrician. However, both his academic grades and his parents' poverty were against him. By the time he reached the eighth grade, Remas found himself immersed in history and language studies. His American History teacher, Mrs. Wendy Braxton (nee Blair), an old friend of his mother's, suggested that a poem he wrote be published in Elwood Middle School's literary magazine. From that point onward, he refused to look back at his former dreams and decided that it was through words that he would do the work of God.
