Nick’s technical experience combined with a can do attitude is what makes him an asset on any team. I’ve worked with Nick for three years at BC where we encountered a variety of digital projects and initiatives for our alumni, parents and friends as well as the internal team. To me, it’s the partnership between strategy, technology and creative that make great Experiences for our audiences and yield great results. Nick’s technical and platform knowledge helped us step up our game from adjusting to virtual events during COVID to launching a complete wed redesign for Gift Planning. It’s a pleasure to have worked with Nick.

Nick is like a digital swiss army knife. He’s one of the most talented digital strategists that I have had the pleasure of managing. His digital skills are broad and deep. From website development to SEO and digital advertising, to configuring complex email automation journeys, and beyond – Nick can pretty much do anything that falls under the umbrella of digital marketing. Plus, he does everything with a smile. He is passionate about the digital customer experience; has an insatiable appetite for learning; and will always go above and beyond in service to the business. If that’s not enough, Nick is one of the hardest working, most helpful and humble human beings that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He’s a natural mentor and sees the potential in others before they see it in themselves. Nick always impressed me and was one of the most valuable members of the team. I miss him and wish nothing but the best for him.
