I had the opportunity to work with Nick at 2 companies. Both times Nick demonstrated tremendous leadership traits and qualities that were exemplary. Nick's attention to detail and hyper focus on solving actual customer problems, while keeping the solution as simple as possible is his superpower. There were many times I had one on one meetings with Nick where he was able to effectively capture and distill the design / requirements in writing / architectural drawing in real time - very impressive. Nick's ability to understand and leverage data to make educated decisions is unrivaled.
Nick is a very personable character who truly believes in teamwork and helping to support those around him without being asked directly. Nick is someone that I look up to outside of work as a mentor and a great friend.
Whoever has the opportunity to work or hire Nick should absolutely do it!
