On this episode of the Rust Belt Rundown, we are joined by Nick Kasik, Director of Operations at the Hermanson Company. With over 30 years of experience as a construction executive, Nick has poured his experience and passion into “making the trades cool again”.

Listen in as he shares the mission of his non-profit group, Working Class, and the different mediums they use to help young people explore the skilled trades. He also offers us insight on his role at the Hermanson Company and his work with the National Association of Construction Professionals.

Nick is our first West Coast guest! If you find yourself in Oregon, he recommends Buster’s Barbecue for old-school, Texas-style, BBQ. Check out Working Class online for more information and connect with Nick Kasik on LinkedIn.
