About Nich
A Kentucky native, Nicholas James Dieruf was born to Charles Dieruf II and Barbara Greer Dieruf in Lexington May 20, 1982, the youngest of four Dieruf boys. Often described as a quirky kid, Nich loved to take things apart and was not always able to put all the pieces back together again. Nich attended Christ the King elementary, Beaumont Middle, and Dunbar High Schools. Following in the footsteps of his older brothers, Nich found interest in baseball as a youngster and track through his high school career.
After high school Nich made a quick attempt at college before deciding that route was not for him. In an effort to create order and discipline in his life, Nich enlisted in the Marines in 2000. Soon after enlisting, he realized that there was a reason that only the Marine recruiting office was open on Sunday...because they never stop working! His first three months in the Marines found Nich in Pharris Island for boot camp. Afterwards Nich became a "west coast" Marine joining thousands at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California for the next four years. Nich served as a gunner and driver of a Light Armored Vehicle. more....
