Nicki is distinguished for her decade of dedication to the construction and steel erection industry. Since 2013, she has been majority owner of Piedmont Steel Company. LLC, the Southeastern United States's top turn-key steel erection company. Drawing on her expertise in corporate advancement and compliance, she helps lead the company in its mission to provide excellent steel erection services for construction projects.

Before entering the steel industry, Nicki spent 15 years working in the dental field; she started as a Dental Assistant and advanced to become clinical and office manager, earning various certifications along the way. She left that industry when she and her husband, Matt, decided to enter the steel erection business. In her new line of work, Nicki opted to work in the field initially, where she gained the skillset needed to find success in her male-dominated industry. With Nicki's perseverance and dedication to safety, Piedmont Steel Company, LLC has flourished, obtaining elite certifications, and building a talented team of workers that has helped the company grow.
A volunteer within her local community, Nicki serves as an advisory board member to the Davidson County and Davie County Community College's welding departments, and she and her husband speak about their careers to students at the high school and college level. As a technical school graduate herself, Nicki takes enormous pride in helping youth appreciate the viability of a career in her field.
Thanks in large part to Nicki's successful leadership and competitive spirit, Piedmont Steel Company, LLC has been recognized as a two-time listee for the Fast 50 Award, which designates the top 50 fastest-growing companies in the Piedmont Triad. In addition, the company won a 2021 Family Business Award and has been a five-time recipient of the North Carolina Department of Labor Safety award.
Outside of work, Nicki is a state-licensed wildlife rehabilitator who volunteers to help small mammals that have been injured or orphaned.
