much whatever your mind can come up with."
Nierodzinski said he prides himself on having
high standards for quality, and on continuing to
push himself to learn more. After almost four years
on the job, he said, he's continuing to learn new
things from his coworkers, and he's never bored.
"There's absolutely no hindrance of progression,
and they embrace and nurture growing within the
company and personally as well," he said. "I look
forward to the future, and I definitely see a bright
one here. I have so much to learn, and I have
learned so much."
