About Us
Nick Schmidt
Blue Pride was formed by Nick Schmidt, after working for over 15 years in the IT industry. Nick has worked in all facets of IT, telephony, networking, wireless, and communications infrastructure.
Nick got his start in the industry as a teenager, learning and growing from his Father and Grandfather’s company and building on their decades of experience. Nick has always had a passion for technology, even as a child, this resulted in a natural progression for him to learn as much as possible.
This led to an opportunity for Nick to become the IT Director for a medical billing office where I also managed the IT support for several other clinics in the hospital.
Once that company was sold, Nick accepted a job as a senior network and phone systems engineer for a local company supporting, engineering, and implementing all types of phone system, wireless networks, and wired network solutions for 100’s of companies around the world.
