The Three to Know about Nick
2015-2017
Nick's career in construction started early during college where he studied engineering. His desire for a challenge emerged out of the technical complications within this field. This specialized craft allows Nick to excel at working alongside his clients and team to resolve and see results.
When thinking about his past positions, Nick created Trellis Group not just as a construction management firm, but a place of resources. Allowing clients to rely on Trellis Group as a place to go to get answers, even when they aren't sure where to start.
Careful listening, systematic interactions, and thoughtful movements are the backbone to a longlasting client relationship. It's also what gets Nick up at 5am every day and keeps him going.
