Nick is an incredible worker and an even better person! He is the most organized person I have ever met in Corporate America. He has a firm handle on his tasks and how to complete them in the most efficient time. He was a huge help on my Release Notes initiative at Simplr and always took the time to ensure that I had the correct content. It is not easy reading through a large document of Jira tickets and notes every two weeks but he did so and effortlessly. Nick is also patient and compassionate. And he provides excellent documentation feedback. I am grateful to have worked with such an awesome individual!

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Nick for over two years. During this time, Nick proved himself to be a consummate professional, while also being a wonderful and invaluable teammate. Nick was always willing to help and share his vast amount of knowledge in order to help our team scale. Nick moved internally from his role as a Senior Customer Success Manager to a Product Manager, and from day one, he made an impact on the entire company with his contributions. Nick was always able to handle tough situations and remain calm, cool-headed, while always being focused and on track. I truly hope that Nick and I will work together again in the future. As great as a professional that he is, I quickly realized that he is an even better person. Any company that gets to work with Nick should consider themselves fortunate.
