Nick Jackson is the antithesis of ordinary. The very last word I would use to describe Nick is "normal." He is not someone you would probably want to approach at the gym...Because one of his biceps is larger than my head and he bench presses 500 pounds. However, if you are fortunate enough to talk to him, you will immediately realize he is incredibly thoughtful and intelligent and he is someone that ENJOYS reading and studying law books. There is so much more than meets the eye and I am fortunate to call him my brother (since he married my older sister). Nick is now a pro bodybuilder working towards becoming the next MR OLYMPIA and we talk about his trials he pushed through to become a pro bodybuilder along with his trials that he overcame to become a successful Attorney. I highly recommend you follow him on his journey on instagram as he shares his progress at (instagram handle is j.d.muscle). Grit, Grind, and Legal Mind.
