What started as a humble hardware store just after World War II is now a leading industrial supplier, and it’s thanks in large part to Jason’s vision and drive. For over two decades, he’s poured everything into the family business, forming it into a values-driven organization that delivers crucial expertise and support to customers—as well as the tooling and tool crib management they need. He started on the shop floor and has worked his way up to running the entire show at ZENGERS Industrial Supply, which means he knows all there is to know about starting out, building a culture and growing a company.

Before he was host of MakingChips, Nick was a devoted listener. He also had a combination of metalworking and content marketing expertise that very few possess, so he always knew he had something to offer. In 2018, he teamed with Jason to further Equip and Inspire Metalworking Nation. Like Jason, Nick is also an indispensable part of a thriving family business. He is a Certified Machine Tool Sales Engineer (CMTSE), which he uses in a Sales & Marketing leadership role at Hennig and AME, two long standing and impeccable manufacturing companies.
