Episode 2: The Power of Contemplation, with Nick Hienton

Deliver the X Podcast

Nick Hienton is the Director of Remote Services for imageOne and has been with the company for seven years. He graduated with a degree in Political Science from the University of Akron in 2007 and joined the imageOne team shortly after. He is 33 years old and lives in Broadview Heights, Ohio with his wife, Amanda, his son, Logan and daughter, Riley.

Nick notes that he has been at imageOne for nearly all of his life milestones - shortly after becoming a technician, he married his wife, bought a house, his wife received her Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner degrees, and his children were born.

Nick came to imageOne by chance after passively looking for a new position. While he had limited IT experience prior to joining the team, he jokes that he had no printer maintenance experience at all. Despite this, Nick became a quick asset to the team and worked his way up to manage imageOne’s Nationwide account and is now Director of Remote Services. Nick has recently gotten into woodworking and furniture making, and also bought a motorcycle which he enjoys riding in his free time.
