From growing up in a rough-and-tumble childhood in Queens with his big and loving Italian-American family to where he is now, Nyle has always been driven to explore beyond the boundaries given him. A college math major and athlete at Gallaudetthe famed university for the Deaf in Washington, DCNyle was drawn as a young man to acting, and dove headfirst into the reality show competitions Americas Next Top Model and Dancing with the Starsultimately winning both competitions.
