## Tangram Ten: Nick Isburgh
**Welcome to our newest Project Manager in Bakersfield!**
We're excited to introduce Nick Isburgh, who's joining our Central Valley team as Project Manager at our Bakersfield office. Making the cross-country move from Snellville, Georgia, Nick brings valuable experience from his previous role as Punch Coordinator at an office furniture dealer.
### Getting to Know Nick
Nick's background is as interesting as it is relevant to his new role. Growing up in a fly-in community, he's been surrounded by aviation his entire life – a detail that speaks to his appreciation for precision and attention to detail, qualities that translate perfectly to project management.
When asked about his spirit animal, Nick doesn't hesitate: the honey badger. **"Honeybadger Don't Care!"** he says, referencing the animal's legendary tenacity and fearless approach to challenges. It's exactly the kind of resilient mindset that serves project managers well when navigating complex commercial design projects.
### What Nick Brings to Tangram
Nick's addition to our Bakersfield team addresses a critical need in our Central Valley operations. His primary focus will be:
- **Providing relief and flexibility** to existing project managers who have been covering Central Valley projects - **Strengthening communication channels** between sales, design staff, and major account holders in the region - **Building stronger relationships** with our Bakersfield office clients
This strategic positioning allows our team to deliver more focused, localized service while maintaining the quality standards Tangram clients expect.
### Looking Forward
What excites Nick most about his new role? **Professional and personal growth through relationship building.** His approach to the position reflects our company values – it's not just about managing projects, it's about fostering connections that drive success for everyone involved.
*Fun fact: If you need a snack recommendation, Nick swears by frozen grapes – "Best snack ever!" And if he won the lottery? He'd buy land, build an off-grid house, and pay taxes for 100 years. Practical and forward-thinking – exactly what you want in a project manager.*
### Strengthening Our Central Valley Presence
Nick's arrival represents more than just a new hire – it's a commitment to better serving our Central Valley clients. With dedicated local project management, our Bakersfield clients can expect:
- Faster response times - More personalized service - Improved project coordination - Stronger local relationships
We're confident that Nick's experience, coupled with his honey badger tenacity, will make him an invaluable addition to both our team and the commercial design community in Central Valley.
**Welcome aboard, Nick! We're excited to see what you'll accomplish with our Bakersfield team.**
