About Nick Bauer

Who I Am

I am Nick Bauer, an IT professional with over 20 years of experience spanning multiple domains. I describe myself as an "IT Versatilist" – someone who can adapt to and excel in various technology roles while maintaining a holistic view of how systems integrate and interact.

My journey began with a passion for computers and technology in the late 1990s, which led me to establish Sin City PC, Las Vegas's premier custom PC builder and service center.
