I have had the pleasure of working with Nick on several occasions. Each time, his skills and knowledge, especially when dealing with Linux, amazed me. His ability to listen to my concerns and then quickly determine the problem was refreshing.
I dealt with many admins over the years, but in many cases it was Nick that saved the day. He never talked down to me or blew me off. When one of my major sites needed to become PCI compliant to stay in business I struggled to find the answers to fix the problems found on my server. Nick never gave up and checked back with me often to make sure my server passed inspection. If it was not for Nick, I would have lost my biggest client and probably would have canceled my dedicated web server.
I would recommend Nick Tailor for any job that deals with computers and especially those that require Linux. Honestly, I feel there is nothing this young man couldn’t conquer.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nick, and I found him to have deep technical knowledge and incredible ability to learn new concepts quickly. He shows excellent technical and communication skills, and provides the kind of solutions that kept our customers coming back. He’s a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. More to the point one can focus on other things as I know he will get the job done before I circle back to him. What more could you ask for?

I worked with Nick for a couple of years. He’s a down to earth, awesome, smart guy. Whenever I hit a wall on troubleshooting any type of problem from simple DNS to Server Configurations he’s always there to help, he would even drop whatever he’s doing just to help me. He’s the guy that makes you think that helping you first is more important than the things he’s currently on. Very smart guy, on the spot problem resolutions, amazing at explaining and breaking down complex technologies to a more understandable concept.
