"Chris is an outstanding example of what it means to be hardworking, genuine, and intelligent. He is
characterized by a personality that naturally draws people to follow him, as well as not being afraid
to take on a task that requires the conquering of obstacles and the solving of difficult problems.
Through the past 2 years of knowing Chris, I have had the opportunity to see him lead
organizations, attend college classes, and work almost full time all at the same time. He is an
individual that not only invests in the work that is set before him, but also the people that surround
him. It has been a pleasure being associated with Chris."

— Dave Borski, was Nimi's client
"I met Chris at BIF Technologies. He is a very focused person. I saw him working tightly with
another individual, Warren Young. These two young men made a great team. In one project I had
some later involvement with, they were able to acquire the business of a downtown hotel and
deploy an advertising solution there."

challenge. I would be very honored to work with him again. Feel free to reference me or ask me

— Leslie Dailey, Student, The University of Texas at San Antonio, worked directly with Nimi at

"I had the opportunity to serve on the executive board of the UTSA American Marketing Association
while Nimi was the President. Under Nimi's leadership, he took an organization of twelve students
and tripled it in size. In doing this, the organization was able to send five students from the
organization to the national American Marketing Association student collegiate conference in New
Orleans, La. Nimi created awareness for the organization by creating professional events on
campus such as "entrepreneur night". The event had participation from local professional business
owners to other students from local chapters. Without a doubt Nimi turned around the student
organization around by being a role model, and practicing effective leadership. It was a pleasure
working with him."
— Angel Arellano, Student, The University of Texas at San Antonio, worked directly with Nimi at
American Marketing Association UTSA Chapter

skills are clearly evident when you observe him in action. He's equally qualified in his level of
people skills and posses a high level of "Emotional Intelligence" of which "self-mastery" is key.
Chris will compliment any organization that is wise enough to bring him on board and his
confidence and competence will be added value for them. It is my pleasure to speak to the
emerging professional character of this young man."

alike."
