MEET Nick

What is your background?

Inspired by my older brothers and dad, I grew up as an adrenaline junky and a tinkerer; I loved getting involved with my family riding motorcycles, snowboarding, and riding around in my dad’s construction equipment.  While I gave up much that to dedicate myself to academics and soccer in middle/high school, all of that would come back to me when I started pursuing engineering in college.  Nowadays, when I’m not busy crashing down mountain bike trails in Pisgah Forest, I get my wrenching fix from working on my truck and dirt bike.  I’ve also had the pleasure of working as a Mechanical engineer across multiple different industries with vastly different products; from precision CNC workholding to aerospace motion systems, and now high-tech emergency vehicle lighting!
