NICK CARBONARO
Assistant Professor
Department of Business Administration and Economics
I have a story most students can relate to. Having started my private sector career at Costco Wholesale as a part-time employee while being a full-time Long Beach City College student in 2004, I moved into management for the warehouse giant upon my graduation in 2008 from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. While being in management at Costco, I earned my MBA from California State University, Fullerton. Prior to becoming an Associate Professor at LBCC, I was also a member of the adjunct faculty at LBCC, Cerritos College as well as El Camino College. I have taught many different business subjects; but, currently I teach General Business, Digital and Social Media, and Personal Financial Management. I am also co-adviser to the LBCC Business Club.
In order to provide the highest quality education for my students I do a variety of professional development and speaking activities. Such highlights include:
-
Annual Speaker for Cengage Engagement Tech Conference
-
Currently serving on multiple Educational Advisory Board Committees
-
Google AdWords and Analytics Certified
-
Hubspot Social Media Certified
-
LinkedIn Champion
-
Twitter Flight School Certified
-
Regular attendee to Bixel Exchange LA Tech Talent Pipeline Roundtable discussions with tech industry professionals from the largest social media companies in the world.
I consider LBCC a second home. My grandmother worked at LBCC. My father and mother met on campus. All three of my siblings have attended LBCC and as a student at LBCC I was a member of the President's Ambassadors.
Outside of the classroom I am married, have 2 amazing children and my Bordoodle Rubble that are everything to me. Having a wife that is also an alumni of USC, you will see our family on Saturdays watching the Men of Troy dominate the gridiron. Besides Trojan football, I enjoy attending Cottonwood Church, watching the Lakers and the Angels, singing karaoke, binge-ing on Netflix, as well as tuning into anything and everything Marvel related! As a millenial, I am glued to social media feeds (mainly Twitter, Snapchat and YouTube) so I am always up to date on the current social, political and financial trends dominating the internet.
To reach me either drop by my office, call, or email and I would love to hear your story!
