Nick Longino Joins Aztec Tents

Regional Area Manager to Support Growth in the Pacific Northwest

TORRANCE, Calif. – August 27, 2013 – Aztec Tents, one of the largest manufacturers of tents and tent related accessories in the United States, continues its initiative for building the highest levels of customer service for their clients with the addition of Nicholas Longino as the newest Regional Area Manager (RAM). Longino will service the Pacific Northwest states of: Alaska, Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana.
Longino joins Aztec after serving as the special events manager for Taylor Rental Party Plus in Plattsburgh, NY. Over the course of his two years with Taylor, Longino oversaw all aspects of the party rental business including layout design, crew management, event planning, and storefront management. Prior to his position at Taylor he worked in catering operations for weddings, corporate events and fundraisers, which has resulted in a valuable knowledge of the catering sector of the special events industry. His extensive experience in events and special event rentals will be a key contribution to the Aztec Tents Team.
“One of the most valuable experiences I have gained so far has come from time spent with Guillermo Lizalde, Tent Fabric Manager at our corporate headquarters,” recounted Longino. “Seeing first hand his knowledge of the products and the work that goes into custom projects really instilled an appreciation in the time and effort that goes into making the best serving our customer’s needs.”
Longino grew up in Upstate New York, and graduated from State University of New York at Cortland. He currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area and recently became engaged to marry next summer. Longino is also an avid snowboarder and is looking forward to some weekend “pitstops” while on the road helping customers throughout the Northwest Region.

Frame Tents

Frame Tents feature a skeleton of aluminum framework and steel connectors to support the tent top. Although this style of tent is "free-standing" by design, it still must be anchored to resist wind forces. All styles of frame tents have no poles that come to the ground in the interior space of the tent.

Pole Tents

Pole tents rely on tension in the membrane to hold the shape of the tent system. These tents are supported by single or multiple centerpoles in the middle of the tent area and a series of sidepoles around the perimeter of the tent area. The tent is tensioned toward the anchoring locations commonly with a rope or ratchet strap.
