Nick Dowd Receives Pick and Shovel Award
Nick Dowd was recognized with the 2025 Pick and Shovel Award for his consistent hard work and dedication to our team and clients.
The inspiration for this award comes from a phrase often used by our founder, Pat Nolan: “pick and shovel work.” For Pat, this phrase is a reminder that meaningful results come from rolling up your sleeves, staying the course, tackling challenges head-on, paying attention to detail with a sense of urgency, and maintaining a “make it happen” mentality.
