Nickolas Fournier

Born on November 29, 1995 in Spokane Washington.

Schooling was particularly harsh for Nickolas, he went to 7 different schools in Spokane and Spokane Valley before highschool. He attended East Valley Online his freshman year of highschool. Then Central Valley Highschool his Sophmore year. His Junior and Senior years were spent at Lewis and Clark High School though his junior year he spent most of the year at Spokane Falls Community College completing the running start program. Most of his school transfers were from violent encounters with classmates during recess. Many of them Nickolas was protecting someone or himself.

"I remember one encounter in elementary school where a boy had pushed a girl into the fence. I was off in the distance but he was holding her face against the fence and I could see her bleading from where I stood. I charged slammed by body into him, and me him and his two friends fought. After the exchange we were both suspended and later on expelled." Nickolas says about going to McDonald's Middle school for half a year.

After college Nickolas worked odd jobs like construction, dog hotels, and sales for CutCo. He also completed 3 more semesters of college but has not yet received his Associates Degree due to higher level math classes being inaccessable without passing the test.

Nickolas moved to Libby montata where he worked among a Menanite community for almost a year until he fell and injured his right shoulder.
