Josh Nickell, ARA VP, Equipment Segment

Josh Nickell likes his steaks with a reverse sear and his metaphors to be orchestra-related.

He’s helped build a rental business and worked in rental software (full disclosure: he worked at Point of Rental, so we discussed his time here a bit).

Now he’s able to use his knowledge and leadership abilities to benefit the entire rental industry at the ARA. Basically, he’s excellent at a lot of things. His English and Scottish accents, though, need a lot of work, as listeners will discover. Apparently, we didn’t send him over there for long enough.
