He enjoys outdoor sports such as snowboarding, golf, soccer, kayaking, hiking, and many more. During the past two summers, Nicholas worked in electrical and mechanical engineering internships with Westmoreland Electric Services as an Assistant Project Manager, and with BR+A as a Mechanical Engineer Design Intern. BR+A is a consulting firm concentrating in the design of new buildings for architecture clients focusing on medical and lab buildings. Westmoreland Electric s subcontracted to build many Penn State projects here at University Park.
