Why Nick Davis was chosen:

• Member-first mindset: As a Board member of Synergy, Nick has spent significant time visiting member companies this year, listening to challenges, sharing ideas, and building relationships that go beyond the session room.
• Infectious enthusiasm: Nick is known for his positive energy, creative engagement, and the hashtag he uses to summarize his approach: #EverForward — a philosophy he lives out for his company and the Synergy peer network.
• Athlete-turned leader: A former Division I athlete, Nick brings the focus, discipline, and teamwork of the field into his leadership at MSD and into every interaction he has with Synergy members.
• Peer connector and community builder: From facilitating introductions to encouraging new member involvement, Nick consistently lifts the entire Synergy community, not just his own company.

Nick accepted the Loving Heart Award during the 2025 Executives Forum in Carmel, California, where leaders from across the commercial mechanical contracting industry gathered for three days of peer learning, strategy, and collaboration. His selection reflects the highest values of this forum: listening, sharing, and moving the industry forward together.

In recognizing Nick Davis as this year’s winner, Synergy underscores its ongoing commitment to fostering a member-centered community where leaders learn from each other, support one another, and drive real business results through meaningful relationships and peer engagement.
