  Nick Ross
  

  Sales / Operations
  
  Nick comes from a background in customer relations and technical support. Having started his career in hospitality during high school in Tampa FL, ending with fine dining, Nick quickly took his newly found customer service and people skills to the I.T. Field as an independent contractor. He provided tailored customer service in a language everyone could understand. He then moved back to California, received his A+ & Networking+ CompTIA Certifications and shortly after took on a field technician position for an I.T. company. Followed by a repair agent
  position for a major retailer, where Nick was quickly drafted into a computer sales role. Here is where Nick began to flourish. Having taken his department to the top ten of a nationwide scorecard consisting of 1400 locations within his first year, Nick was promoted to department
  lead. Repeating his success and delivering results in multiple KPIs and customer feedback metrics, Nick assumed leadership and management titles across three locations within the company, taking charge of multiple complex sales departments simultaneously. Here he was often selected for taking over failing departments and tasked to turn them around within one business quarter, where he was reproducibly successful.
  
  
  
  Nick prides himself & is motivated by providing his clients (and peers) with tailored solutions ranging from simple needs to complex visions, while highlighting undiscovered opportunities. But what’s most important to him is the quality of service he provides for his clients. Nick treats his clients and peers like family. He is driven by forging quality connections, and being known for his work ethic which leaves no stone unturned. He has a track record for retaining business sourced from his genuine empathy, clarity of communication & relentless effort for delivering 100% satisfaction for all parties involved. Nick enjoys training and developing others and is humbled whenever someone teaches him something new.
  
  
  
  In his free time, Nick enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes. He loves technology and finding new ways to make life better with technology. He took apart the VCR at age 7 and was given his first DOS computer to free up his dads. He spends time on his custom PC setup, listening to a wide range of music and testing the limits of his gaming hardware. He seeks out do-it-yourself projects around the house ranging from installing smart lighting and full home automation to enhancing his outdoor and barbeque experience. He enjoys snowboarding, jet skis, traveling to new destinations with his wife and hosting events for his loved ones. He also enjoys Chess, Texas Hold’em Poker and tries to get in 10K steps a day… but is not always successful at this.
