Diego was fortunate enough to regain his hearing through cochlear implants and encourages the cure for vision. Nicolas graduated from the University of Ottawa with a bachelor of science in kinesiology. He is a career firefighter in the City of Ottawa. Together with his wife, they have 3 children, one of whom has Usher 1F.
