Hey, I'm Nick, supply chain guy and creator

Hi, my name is Nick and I’m a supply chain pro / business consultant / coder from Detroit. I have over 20 years experience driving savings and working capital improvements throughout the supply chain. I see myself as a Servant-Leader adept at creating self-directed teams and positive team cultures.

My work focuses on finding straightforward solutions to complex problems. I'm always looking for new fixes to old problems and comfortable identifying an issue, designing the solution, and helping implement it. When I'm not in front of a computer, you'll find me biking a trail or home playing games with the fam.
