I worked briefly with Nicholas when he was in Michigan. He has always placed an importance on being an honest hard working and creative person. He seems to have a firm grasp on the inner workings of the business world and speaks with an open mind about ideas. He is a very responsible individual. Any task given to him, would be achieved without any complications and very little to no supervision.
