Having worked with Nic for over 18 years, I generally have the same conversation at the front end of any project.

 “Can we make it work with Nic”?
For hundreds of shows, the answer has been YES. Nic is, without a doubt, my first choice.  He is the go-to for all challenging shows! His honesty and integrity endear him to all of his clients.

Martin Fischer
Vice President Production
Opry Entertainment Group

We have worked with Nic for 5 or 6 years now, and the experience we have with him literally gets better every time.

Our show has grown into a major national event, due in large part to Nic’s tireless efforts and willingness to find a way to make it happen.

Nic Dugger is at the top of my list.

I have personally had the honor to work around the world with thousands of professionals in my career, and will say that among all the people I have worked with, Nic Dugger is at the top of my list. He has a stellar reputation in the industry, and quite, honestly.. I am proud to know and work with him. His commitment to client satisfaction is unrivaled, and that is hard to find in today’s day and age.

Robert Swope
Director, Producer
Sunrise Entertainment

My experiences with Nic, his team, and his equipment have all been very positive.

 I use Nic and his team on many large projects every year. Because of both his attitude and his leadership, he performs flawlessly. Everyone and everything performs exactly as they are supposed to. Nic never cuts corners on any of the projects we produce together.  Nic is my “first call” when I need things done correctly.  Our jobs are VERY demanding, and never once have I heard Nic complain or tell me, “we can’t do that”. He simply gets the job done.
