Triumph Over Tragedy Episode 1 – Nick Blakemore, “Triumph is never accidental, it must always be very intentional. ” ~Coach Camp
Sometimes the path we thought we were meant to take in life can suddenly be
altered in a second’s notice. This week’s guest had a vision and dream for his
future, but on the morning of March 8, 2000, a 20 year old Nickcolus received the
news that his 48 year old father had been shot and killed while fighting a house
fire.
Needless to say, firefighting is a dangerous occupation, but no one expects to hear
the news that they had lost their life from being shot. Nick shares with my
audience how this tragic moment affected their family and how this changed the
direction of his entire life.
Nick decided to put his dreams of being a writer on hold so he could join the fire
department to honor his dad. Nick talks about how he spent 18 years on the
department before having to retire due to injuries to his knee.
It was at that time that he reconnected with his love of writing and has since
written several books and screen plays and recently completed his first feature
length movie. Nick could have easily used the tragedy of losing his father at an
early age to negatively impact the rest of his life, but instead he chose to honor his
father and then when given the opportunity to return to his original love, he
bounced back like he had never put those dreams on hold.
