What happens when science, imagination, and miles above the earth collide?

In this episode, we sit down with Nicholas — creator of the Vitalerium Series, a science-fiction saga literally written at 36,000 feet. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, and trained through Northeastern University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, Nicholas followed a winding path through medical science, wound healing, burn treatment, and regenerative medicine—before answering the creative call he could no longer ignore.

Spending years traveling the country to work alongside burn surgeons and survivors, Nicholas found inspiration in the quiet moments between destinations. Somewhere between takeoff and landing, the universe of Vitalerium was born. Drawing influence from science-fiction giants like Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Frank Herbert, and Isaac Asimov, he crafted a story where science meets morality, and humanity’s future hangs in the balance.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How a career in medical science shaped his storytelling

• Writing a novel in the skies—literally

• The intersection of science fiction, ethics, and humanity

• The expansive vision behind a seven-book series

• Crafting the journey of protagonist Roman Matthews
