About Nick Valdez

As the Architectural Sales Representative for the Eastern region of the country, I work with architects and engineers to help them to design and specify projects that call for perimeter fencing, gate and enclosure products. This entails selecting the appropriate product according to the desired security level, aesthetics and other job site conditions while ensuring the project meets the client\'s desired security needs. I provide in-person and virtual Lunch and Learn seminars to architects and engineers for AIA credit. I am a senior instructor for the American Fence Association Gate Operator Training School where I teach the UL 325 and ASTM F2200 standards to automated gate installers.
