Nick grew up in San Diego from ages 9-18 and then moved to Santa Barbara for college at UCSB. He has lived in Santa Barbara for a little over 5 and a half years. He and his friends typically like to hike, go out to eat, grab a drink, go to comedy shows, concerts, and enjoy a sunset here and there. Nick likes to visit his family in San Diego every couple of weeks to catch up and spend time with them. When he\u2019s not working, he like to hit the gym, relax at home watching something funny, and make plans to travel and visit friends or host them for a weekend. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How does working for Chemsearch FE align with your life goals?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

FE has provided me everything I\nneeded in a career post college to feel successful: independence, professional\neducation, resources, support and the freedom to run a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where were you (job or industry) before joining Chemsearch FE? Did you see yourself in a sales role?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I had been pursuing a sales role in\nsoftware prior to connecting with Chemsearch. I even had an internship at a\nstartup my senior year [of college]. During the interview process, I learned I\ncould combine my ambition for sales with my passion for sustainability. I did\nnot picture things progressing the way they did, but I’m happy nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment so far in your career with Chemsearch FE?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Aside from being promoted, I’d say my\nbiggest accomplishment is the business, territory and relationships I’ve\ndeveloped to this day. I did not expect to enjoy my work this much. I went into\nit thinking “it’s just a job,” but it has surprised me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nare the most rewarding parts of your job?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The most rewarding aspects of this\njob are: being a long-term meaningful asset to the industry, having deep\nconversations with customers, and being able to run things independently almost\nlike a one-man startup while still having the support of an established company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\ndo you consider a fulfilling workday?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A fulfilling day is usually a productive one, maybe a large order or a contract proposal went through, but more than that it\u2019s the conversations. When a customer tells me I’m making their life easier or we’re laughing over a bad joke I made, I feel I’m doing my part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick’s manager, Rahul, shares his experience working with Nick:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

So far, my experience working with Nick has been exemplary. Positive attitude, strong work ethic, good relationship skills, excellent technical acumen. It\u2019s been fun! He\u2019s been running hard and has hit all his milestone well ahead of time. There hasn\u2019t been much he has not excelled at; his easygoing, fun personality resonates with customers, making him instantly likable. He also operates with a high level of integrity and solves customers\u2019 problems. This has enabled him to build a base of customers, which will help him grow with FE. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
