With over ten years of audio engineering experience, Nick's addition to PLuGHiTz Corporation is best served when he is behind the mixing board every Sunday night to produce the audio side of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology, Piltch Point and PLuGHiTz Live Night Cap. While mixing live every week, his previous radio show hosting experience gives him the ability to co-host as well, giving each show a unique flare with his slightly off-center, yet still realistic take on all things tech. An integral part of the show, you can find Nick always enveloped in coming up with new (and sometimes crazy) ideas and content for the show and you can always expect the most direct opinion on the stories that he feels need to be shared with the world. During the few hours where Nick isn't sleeping or working on ways to improve the company, he spends his free time going to hockey and football games and playing the latest titles on Xbox 360.

Earlier in the month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Nielsen had plans to start measuring streaming viewership. This was a big deal for the producers of content, which have had a lot of trouble knowing exactly how their content is doing on streaming services. This is especially problematic for the producers of programs like Orange Is the New Black, which is available exclusively through streaming. It could also be important for the streaming services themselves, as an independent count of streaming can help with negotiations.
