Nick started his career as an electrician but later transitioned into the role of an estimator and eventually a project manager. In 2012, he recognized a business opportunity in Southern California due to the presence of older apartment buildings and hotels and a lack of competition in that market. After six months of focused efforts, he established an office and became vice president. Within two years, this office surpassed the revenue generated by the headquarters. He also developed a fondness for Southern California during this journey, which was an added bonus. If Nick were to summarize his perspective, the utmost importance lies in cultivating personal business relationships.

He is constantly presented with fresh challenges that require him to think creatively and come up with innovative solutions. Likewise, he emphasizes the importance of prioritizing individuals. Rather than striving to be the top performer in one's field, he believes in creating a nurturing environment where talented individuals can flourish both personally and professionally. According to him, the prosperity of his customers and employees as a whole ultimately results from their collective success.

During challenging moments, Nick holds the belief that even difficult situations will eventually improve. This principle also holds true during favorable times. It is advisable to maintain a determined mindset, remain dedicated to the primary objective, and be prepared to take advantage of opportunities that arise.

Nick believes that the people who use screwdrivers in the field are very important for the company's success.

Nick helps his employees by encouraging them to think about their personal growth, future projects, and advancement within the company. He wants to guide and support them through mentoring, asking relevant questions, and creating opportunities for them to progress.

When communicating with clients or employees, it is important to clearly express expectations, observations, and goals. When making decisions, it is necessary to carefully consider all aspects and also reach a conclusion promptly.
