Hello everyone,
I am Dr. Patrick Nizzi.
I am in my second year teaching at Apex Middle School, but I have had a long and distinguished career in many fields as I have progressed through life.
I was born on the grounds of the Castle Nizzi-Stein in Indiana.
My family was at the bottom of the working caste system, and I was fortunate to have one of the better jobs in my caste, cleaning the royality's chamber pots. One day, I found a set of armor sitting outside the bathing room, and I put it on and took this picture.
To avoid the wrath of the royalty, I ran away to India and joined a Monastery. While there, I met a intelligent your man named Mahatma Gandhi. He was having a bad day, so I told him to "Be Nice." The seemed to work well for him.
As I sat in quiet contemplation with Gandhi, I began to wonder why the ends of the strings on my shoe laces continued to fray, and an idea struck me like a bolt of lighting (actually, this is when I was struck my lightning.)
When I awoke from my lightning-induced coma, I noticed that the end of my shoe laces were melted from the heat of the lightning, and therefore they were not fraying. This led me to develop the aglet, the clear plastic wrap on the end of each shoe lace. I sold my idea to a shoe lace making company, and I have receive 2% on each shoe lace sold since that time. To learn more about my conversion from a monk to a aglet mogul, read the article in Forbes.
Money did not change me, but my money did change the world. Once my aglet profit earned more than the GNP of four European countries, the EU voted to place my face on the €500 Euro Note.
I grew tired of using my days to watch the rise and fall of the world economy as determined by the international exchanging of shoelace aglet, so I devoted my time to a new passion, Competitive International Football (you might call it Soccer).
I was selected in the fifth round of the International Soccer Draft by Bulgaria. Through several years of daily practice and grueling personal sacrifice, my coach finally let me on the field when we were up by 12 with 2 minutes to play. I did not score a goal, but I was photographed in this great scene as I "bulldozed" my opponent.
The physical dominance that I displayed on my 2 minutes of soccer stardom earned me international acclaim, and I was rewarded with my photo on the cover of Men's Health Magazine.
In my spare time, I enjoy:
White Water Kayaking
Weightlifting
Motocross
and flying my private helicopter.
