 Meet Nick Powell:

The team here at Digital Operative would like to extend the warmest of welcomes to Nick, he's joined the team as our Customer Experience Strategist. Nick has been a great addition to the team, he's got a great attitude and is always down to participate, even from Florida! That's right folks, Nick is working remote from Jacksonville, where we hear he's got a sweet little piece of ocean front property. Side note- if you need company, I'm sure we could find a few volunteers to keep you company! Anyway, we really wanted you to get to know Nick, so we decided to let him tell you a little bit more about him self. Nick, the floor is yours.... Hi, my name is Nick. Some interesting stuff about me: In 1999, I joined the United States Navy. I operated the tactical weapons and targeting systems through 7 beautiful all-inclusive luxury cruises. I spent 2 whole years of my life underwater which I’ve been told is interesting and even got a medal for fixing a leak with chewing gum. After the Navy, I tried my hand at being a Rock Star although ended up a marketing professional. I then double dipped from the University of North Florida with a BBA in International Business and MBA. My professional life has been largely devoted to understanding and improving customer experiences. My wife and I have two babies, a beautifully strong 5-year-old daughter and my 3-year-old man (my mini-me). We are rounded out by our 8-year old Golden/Jack Russel mix whom I’ve been told is the chilliest dog in the history of the world. (My buddies are always asking to take her to the pubs at the beach). I enjoy running, sailing, hiking, camping and generally looking at the night sky. I love reading classic novels; some of my favorite authors are Alexandre Dumas, Ernest Hemmingway, and Jack London. Let’s get to know Nick a little better with a few RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS:
