Working with Nick always brings a smile to your face. He is the most positive, helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient person. His never-ending energy is contagious and he makes you want to be better yourself.

I had the pleasure of meeting Nick when I was PR lead at Caesars Entertainment UK. He is quite simply a joy in so many ways. The most beautiful, kind hearted person as well as a true professional through and through. He lights up every room he walks into and never fails to make you smile. Nick is a success because he builds contacts the old school way - by making friends first. This makes him someone to be cherished in the workplace because his professional relationships last forever. I'm desperate for an opportunity to work with him again but in the interim have to settle for watching his progress from afar.
