"Nick was my go to IT professional when i had any problems with my computer, to the point that i would try to work around our company policy of logging a ticket just so i would get directly to Nick. Even after he was promoted beyond support and into company security, I still reached out to him. I can't think of any IT problems that i had that he couldn't solve. I sometimes feel like IT support expects me to be more computer savvy when they work with me, even though i don't expect them to know how to build an a 12 story academic building. Nick NEVER made me feel that way. He was always a pleasure to work with and he will be a great addition to whatever team recognizes his value and brings him aboard."

"I am a Director of Design/Engineering at Nicks former employer. When I had need of IT services working with Nick was a pleasure. Nick was always a great problem solver who acted professionally but in a personal manner. I have worked with Nick his entire career at his former employer. This same attitude was followed by the personnel who worked for Nick. In our company this is a high pressure job where beyond the needs of dealing with just the day to day problems of keeping all of the licensing, replacement and selection of equipment up to date, every problem was a reason that was keeping the operating personnel from being productive. As security became more of an issue, Nick was on top of it and not only kept the systems safe but was part of the company effort to keep everyone knowledgeable on the most current threats. I have no reservation at recommending Nick as I know that Nick would be a positive asset to any organization."

I highly recommend Nick's talents and abilities to anyone."
"I have worked with Nick for over 15 years. Nick has always been very professional, very helpful, and always attentive to my requests. I often had a need to seek out his technical assistance and advice, and was never left with an unresolved issue. If Nick didn't have an immediate solution, he would either research it for me, or steer me to someone who could help. He would then follow up with me to assure my issue was resolved. His cheerful, "can do" attitude was always welcome, and will be missed. Were it not for the COVID-induced recession we will now be entering, Nick would certainly still be working here at Walbridge."

I strongly recommend Nick because he is loyal, dedicated and always reliable."
