In 2011 Nick Pernisco was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - a disease typically affecting those over 60 - at age 33. After enduring a prolonged period of depression, he found a way to move beyond his grief and fight back by taking control of his disease and is using his experiences to educate and advocate for others. From this mission, he has created several resources to help others living with Parkinson's. The Parkinson's LifeKit app is used by thousands of people with Parkinson's around the world to help them take control by tracking symptoms and fitness, managing medication, and more accurately reporting on their condition to their doctors. Parkinson's Warrior was launched as a news and resource website in 2018, and has since become the platform to publish books and other media, and has spurred a Facebook support group, all of which serve as guides to adopting a Warrior Mindset to take control of each day and each battle in pursuit of an improved quality of life. In 2018, after years of disease progression and failing medications, Nick decided to have Deep Brain Stimulation surgery to help ease the symptoms of the disease. Since then, Nick's quality of life has improved significantly. Though not a cure, it has changed the way he lives his life and has changed his views on life in general. In addition to being an author, app developer, and advocate, Nick is also a media studies professor. He has lived in Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, Seattle, Amsterdam, and most recently, New York, where he lives with his wife and two cats.
