Hi, I am Nick Liemandt. I am a marketing specialist and looking forward to meeting you.

My name is Nick Liemandt and I am a young entrepreneur especially interested in marketing, media, and philanthropy. I have been given opporunities to develop my leadership skills through various positions in non-profit organizations and also through the founding of my own landscaping business. I have created, managed, and developed teams of youth, in partnership with adults, to impact the community.It has led to the growth of my skills around public speaking, team management, organization, and marketing. I am an eager learner and excited by the opporunity to garner new skills. I have developed a real passion for marketing and leveraging social media to spread your message. Marketing is changing and it is hard to keep up with it all but while other teens are “gaming”, I am marketing.
