Learn more about Nth's most important asset – its people in our "I am the Nth Generation" series.
What’s your job title? Enterprise Account Manager
How long have you been with Nth? Just over two weeks! My first day with Nth Generation was August 14, 2023
What does a typical day for you at Nth look like? In the constantly evolving world of enterprise technology, I work directly with our enterprise customers and help guide them to the right mix of technology solutions and services that will help them get where they’re trying to go!
Which fellow Nth’er(s) inspire you and why? I’m inspired by my manager, Dwayne Gilliam (EVP Sales). I have only known Dwayne for a short time, but I have known him to be a master motivator, relationship builder, and servant leader. I look forward to his mentorship as I build my career with Nth Generation.
And of course, I am inspired by Jan Baldwin (Co-founder & CEO) and Rich Baldwin (Founder & CSO) whose leadership and dedication to fostering a winning company culture these past 30 years have allowed Nth Generation to grow into the company it is today – the premier technology services company in Southern California.
What’s one of your favorite things about your job? I love learning about new technologies, and helping my clients leverage the right technologies to make real, positive organizational changes to accomplish their goals.
What is a work accomplishment you are proud of? The next one!
What was your first job? When I was 14, I was a lifeguard at a community pool in my hometown of Palatine, IL. I did that job every summer for nine years.
What is the best career advice you’ve received? If you’re not 15 minutes early, you’re late and you only get one opportunity to make a first impression.
What is your favorite place that you’ve travelled to? In the summer of 2019, I travelled to Ontario, Canada for a fishing trip with my dad and brother. I narrowly beat my brother in the weekend’s competition to catch the biggest fish. I landed a 42 inch Northern Pike on the last day of the trip.
What is your favorite movie and/or book? It’s hard to pick a favorite movie, but at the top of my list would probably be The Departed, Boondock Saints, and Reservoir Dogs.
What 3 items would you bring with you to a deserted island? A fire starter, a hatchet, and Bear Grylls
What is your perfect meal? Surf and turf – a good rare steak and lobster
What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? Fried frog legs – tastes like chicken!
What do you like to do for fun? On any given weekend, you can find me playing beach volleyball or flag football on the shores of Long Beach, CA. I love a good beach day and any type of event with live music - whether that be a concert or local open mic night.
What was your first concert? First CD? My first concert was OAR at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI. The first CD I bought for myself was Weezer’s Green Album
What fictional character(s) do you most relate to? Probably Tony Stark (Iron Man) – because he seems like he knows how to have a good time and he leverages his own intelligence with his team of superheroes to solve problems – not so different from an Enterprise Account Manager at Nth Generation.
