I had the pleasure of working with Nicholas at EVARI during our work with DVRPC. He was not only my colleague, but my trainer. Because of him I gained numerous insights into GIS data collection and analysis. His work efficiency is something to be admire. Sometimes, admittedly, it was hard to keep up with him out there in the field. I certainly will not forgot all that he taught me. I highly recommend him for GIS-related projects.

Nicholas is an excellent addition to every team he is a part of. He does not hesitate to complete tasks in a timely fashion while ensuring that he is doing the best quality work he is able to. Additionally, I really appreciate how he takes the extra time to make sure he understands the work he is doing as a whole instead of simply focusing on the immediate task at hand. I've never had an issue working with Nicholas and I think any team he joins would be lucky to have him!
