About Us

Forward Root

We free owners from spreadsheet chaosβ€”so they can grow, hire, and breathe.

Built in Houston. Designed for trades who’d rather swing a hammer than open Excel.

Mission

Give hands-on business owners an extra work-day every week by turning scattered tools and spreadsheets into one connected growth engine.

If our work doesn’t save you hours or dollars in the first 30 days, we haven’t done our job.

Founder story

I’m Nic Nash, a 15-year software engineer who grew up swapping sockets for spreadsheets in my parents’ air‑conditioning shop, where I learned that sweat doesn’t always translate to profit. Fifteen years later I’m a senior software engineer who’s spent equal time on rooftops and in code editors, obsessed with turning small‑business chaos into clear process.

Corporate IT taught me the power of automation; my faith taught me it must serve people first. So I built ForwardRootβ€”a studio where live dashboards replace copy‑paste and owners see every lead and dollar without digging through Excel.

I still nerd out on cameras, drones, and the occasional parkour lineβ€”because compelling media and nimble thinking belong in the trades, too. Think Marcus Lemonis with a laptop, plus Pixel, Cheeto, and Bear asleep under the desk.

My promise: tech in plain English, deployed in days, and always measured in saved time or new revenue.
