NICK HILL, LPG, SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER 

QUESTION: WHAT’S YOUR BACKGROUND AND CAREER PATH?
ANSWER: I am from the Dayton, OH area and graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004 with a BA in Geology. Since accepting a Staff position at Enviro, over 9 years ago now, I have climbed the company ladder to Senior PM. Prior to that, I got my hands dirty working in California and parts of the east coast performing environmental UST testing in 2004/2005 and subsequently working in the field at another consulting firm for over 6 years.   

Q: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING RECOGNIZED BY YOUR COWORKERS?
A: I was not expecting it and really appreciate the gesture. It is an honor to be singled out of a group of so many high caliber peers. A very humble thanks to all because I really couldn’t do my job or be where I am today without the support of everyone. 

Q: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT WORKING AT ENVIROFORENSICS?
A: I can’t say enough about the people and the supportive atmosphere and environment here at EnviroForensics. I truly rely on the strengths of others every day and it’s great to work with such willing and able peers. Having come from a larger company where employees were hardly recognized or supported, it has been very refreshing to find and be with a company that truly looks to find ways to put employees first. 

Q: WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR MOST EXCITING PROJECTS AT ENVIROFORENSICS?
A: Right now, I am enjoying working with Director of Commercial Real Estate, Casey McFall on Phase I assessments. It’s fast-paced work and fun to learn about the histories of different properties across Indiana and other states.    

Q: WHAT IS YOUR LIFE LIKE OUTSIDE OF ENVIROFORENSICS?
A: Outside of work, life revolves pretty heavily around family with my wife, Emily, and our 2 girls Claire (soon to be 10) and Audra (7) in Martinsville. With the COVID situation and Emily teaching, I have become Mr. Mom at home these days getting the kids ready/through online school. I am still following soccer, though not able to play anymore after 2 knee surgeries in 2017, and I am a big supporter of Liverpool FC in England. On warmer days, I like working out in the yard and playing disc golf. On others, I mostly enjoy quiet evenings at home binge-watching Netflix or catching up on the latest soccer matches with a good beer or bourbon.
