While their science fair project has taken up much of their time for nearly seven months of the school year, Matt and Nick have found the time to be involved in a host of other activities. Nick plays football and tennis and participates in band and jazz band, including this year's All-State jazz band. At St Bernard's Church, he is a member of the youth board. An avid outdoorsman, Nick enjoys hunting. Taxidermy is among his hobbies, and he has mounted a wood duck, badger and deer.
Matt plays tennis and basketball and is a member of the cross country team.
He also participates in band and jazz band and is an officer in the youth group at Redeemer Lutheran Church. In Scouting, Matt achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and is a member of Troop 59. He also enjoys outdoor activities, including hunting and fishing. Both of the youth are members of Lincoln High School's chapter of the National Honor Society and include the science fair participation as one of their hobbies. Matt plans to attend college, pursuing a career in the computer field, and Nick aspires to study pre-med and would someday like to be a surgeon.
