Nick joined the RTB West team in early 2017 with a fresh view of the promotional industry, a better understanding of millennial’s and social-media savvy. He brings client, team, and project management skills from his time spent as the youngest Location Manager of the nation’s largest commercial building materials distributor. Nick interned for RTB for two summers while attending The Pennsylvania State University where he completed his degree in Business Management as an Academic All-Big Ten Student Athlete, three time Penn State Record Holder, and NCAA and Olympic Trials competitor.

Antonio has been in sales since he was 15, when he started buying and selling bicycles while honing his downhill racing skills enough to turn pro.  At 17 he began flipping cars and at 20 moved quickly from being the top salesman in an on-trend sports shoe store to become the store manager.  In 3 months, he turned the lowest grossing store in the region into the highest.  At 22 he leveraged his sales training and management skills to build a team that quickly made him one of the top club promoters in Hollywood where he worked with the highest grossing clubs in CA. Antonio has a nuanced skillset that starts with a genuine concern for his clients.  He is a man of family and faith who spends his spare time with his wife and kids and serving in his church’s Children’s ministry.
