Nick Barke 101

Son of Victor and Kathy Barke, Nick has been a part of the family business since day one. “When I was 7 years old my dad took me to my first job site. Instantly, I was hooked.” Nick has a true passion for the construction industry, and has dedicated his professional life to developing himself in order to continue to grow the family business.

Starting out as a carpenter, Nick has worked his way up at Complete Basement Systems, later working as a Foreman, System Design Specialist, Production Manager and – today – as General Manager. His extensive, hands-on experience has equipped Nick to lead the Complete Basement Systems Team, and advise the employees to ensure that each job is done professionally and ethically. “Today, my biggest measure of success is customer satisfaction. Because of our lifetime warranty, our customers are part of the Complete Basement Systems family for life. I want to make sure that they are completely satisfied with the quality of our work.”

 

Who is Nick, really?

So, you know the basics, but let’s learn more about who Nick really is.

Q: Big question – how many cups of coffee do you drink per day?
A: Two

Q: What is something – outside of work – that you are extremely passionate about?
A: Raising my three boys. It’s probably no surprise that we love building things. It’s so fun to see them learn life skills through our building projects. In the summertime, we also love camping and bicycling – anything to keep them busy!

Q: What’s your favorite thing to do in Minnesota?
A: When it’s summer, I better be near water! I’m that guy that wears shorts year-round, so you could say I’m a bit hot blooded. My family loves spending time at the lake!

Q: Who is your favorite superhero?
A: Chuck Norris – obviously.

Q: Tell us about a person or situation that has had a significant impact on your life.
A: When I was younger, I spent as much time as possible traveling and experiencing new cultures. Those adventures really have shown me how to be happy and enjoy what I have.

Q: What energizes you to head to work each day?
A: Rockstar fruit punch!

    I enjoyed how well the crew worked together.  Every individual in this company did his part to make it a good experience.  They know what they are doing.  Its a decision that was well worth it for me.  My basement is now enjoyable, not dreadful anymore.
