Nicholas is a past-Rotarian who spoke to our club recently on his life after Rotary. He had become very involved with the T&T American Chamber of Commerce, eventually serving as President, before working at an international level with AMCHAM. Nicholas describes himself as a Relationship Builder and his reputation soon spread and he was invited to join several business and service organisations around the world, and has received many prestigious international honours, including being made a Freeman of the City of London as well as a Livery Man who can elect the Mayor and other officials of the City of London. Nicholas is a board member of other local enterprises and has served as an Independent Senator for Trinidad & Tobago three times.
Despite this acclaim and business success with his own technology company, The TSL Group, Nicholas presented himself as a humble individual who is grateful for his life and family, having survived a life threatening and paralysing disease, Guillain Barre Disease, in 1990. He is also a talented musician and philanthropist. He attributed much of his success to his Rotary experience which encourages public speaking and relationship building, and of course to his wife, Nicole, who is also a Paul Harris Fellow. This was a most inspiring story of personal growth despite difficult obstacles.
