Bio
Alex Franco
Nick is one of the most hardworking and committed people I've ever worked with. He was the first employee at Orchid.Black and it's hard to imagine anybody who would have been better for the job. Nick is bright, versatile, talented, and a great steward of culture and has been vital to the success of Orchid.Black and I'm confident he'd be a catalyst for success in any position at any company that he ever partnered with! You don't get better than Nick Tarsi.

Nick Tarsi was a student in my Penn State class "the Threat of Terrorism and Crime" and excelled in his coursework, achieving one of the top grades awarded out of a class of over 150 students. He stood out in my class both for his reliability and his leadership. Indeed, Nick emerged as team leader in the context of a complicated class simulation project that required student teams to try to thwart a complex, international terrorist plot. He invariably displayed a keen intellectual curiosity and a real thirst for knowledge. One of Nick's particular strengths is his ability to analyze and synthesize large amounts of complex data. Nick is likewise an elegant yet concise drafter, whose written work product was always accurate and cogent. I was so impressed with his credentials and performance as a student that I decided to hire him as my classroom assistant for my terrorism & crime course for the Fall 2015 semester. Nick excelled in that role, with the result that I asked him to join me again as assistant for the following semester. I have managed over 100 learning assistants in my time at Penn State and rank Nick Tarsi in the top five.
