Meet the Boulder Nissan Team
Get to know Ted Christiano
I’m originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, but I’ve proudly called Boulder home since 1997. Over the years I’ve built a life here centered around family, the outdoors, and the community.
I’m a proud new grandfather, and spending time with family is one of the most important parts of my life. My wife Amy and I love having our daughter and son and spouses over for family dinners and enjoying the simple moments together.
Living in Colorado has allowed me to pursue many of the hobbies I enjoy most. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me fishing, off-roading in the mountains, playing disc golf, or camping somewhere in the Colorado outdoors.
Professionally, I’ve spent nearly three decades at Boulder Nissan, where I’m now going on 29 years. Over that time I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people in our community find the right vehicle for their needs. Building relationships with customers and being part of such a long-standing local dealership has been incredibly rewarding. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
Get to know Ed Olsen
I started with Boulder Nissan in June of 2000. I began my career as a sales consultant and have worked in the finance department as well as in sales management. I am more than happy to help with any of your car buying or selling needs!
I was born and raised in Littleton, CO, which makes me one of the ever-fewer Colorado natives! I enjoy playing and watching sports, hanging out with friends, and visiting new restaurants. From summer concerts to weekend mountain getaways, I try to enjoy all that this beautiful state has to offer. My son Enzo and my girlfriend Lindsay keep me pretty busy when I am not in the office. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions you have about Boulder Nissan!
Get to know Joey Parent
Hello, my name is Joey Parent, and I am originally from West Springfield, MA. I moved to Colorado in 2014.
I have over two decades of involvement in the automotive industry and started my career with Nissan in 2006. My passion for Nissan and the people who drive them is what brings me to Boulder. I aim to provide you with a smooth buying experience, outstanding service, and building relationships for years to come.
At eleven, I learned to drive a standard shift in a Datsun 620 pickup. For the past 24 years, I have been a proud Nissan owner and enthusiast. You can find me outside looking for the next great adventure when I'm not in the office. I love four-wheeling and exploring Colorado's backcountry. I'm excited to be here at Boulder Nissan and I’m looking forward to assisting you with all of your automotive needs.
Get to know Jarrod Fawcett
I was born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado, near Horsetooth Reservoir. After graduating from CSU with a degree in Business Management, I moved to Denver, where I met my wife. We now have two wonderful boys who share my passion for cars. I enjoy traveling with my family, watching sports, and spending as much time in the mountains as possible. I joined the team in June 2021, and while I’m new to Nissan, I bring over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry and have the expertise to help customers with all types of credit, whether good or bad.
Get to know Anthony Pucciarelli
I was born and raised in Colorado and moved to Boulder in 2011 to get my degree from the University of Colorado, Go Buffs! I’ve had a passion for cars my entire life, even saving up all the money I earned working many summer breaks in the customer service industry to buy my first car as soon as I turned sixteen.
My love for cars and passion for customer service is what eventually brought me to Boulder Nissan. Here I hope to help every customer who leaves here to feel like they’ve received the customer service they deserve! I truly believe all of us at Boulder Nissan will give you a car-buying experience that’s as unique as Boulder!

Get to know Roman Ramsey
Born in Brooklyn then raised in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, I eventually hitchhiked across the country. Having watched every Western on TV growing up (and there were a LOT of them), it only seemed natural that I would end up in these wide-open spaces. I spent the majority of my adult life in Santa Fe, NM, making furniture and enjoying the alternative creative, artistic, and spiritual community there. After earning a B.A. in Psychology from the College of Santa Fe, I was accepted at Naropa to work towards my Masters in Transpersonal Psychology but ended up taking a different path. That locked me into the Boulder/Santa Fe connection and I finally moved here after meeting Kim on Match.com. We decided after a year and a half of making the six-hour drive every two weeks that I had better move here (yes: an internet dating success story; we are now married!)
I have worked in the car business for almost 20 years at various dealerships, often at odds with the prevailing combative nature of the business. When I found Boulder Nissan, I knew I had found a home that was more in line with my personal philosophy around sales. While many places just give lip service to customer service, our dealership embodies it. I get to treat our clients the way I would like to be treated: with respect and integrity. We ARE, after all, what we DO. I am also the author of four books and when I am not at the dealership, you may see Kim and I hiking in our nearby mountains (she’s the one with the beautiful moonbeam hair).
Get to know Rick Tanis
I am originally from a small farming town in Michigan where I was born and raised. My family had a small hobby farm with cows, chickens, pigs, and sheep and I was active in 4-H as 4-H king, Teen council member, and Key Club Award winner.
I graduated from Wyoming Catholic College in Lander Wyoming with a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, and now live here in Colorado with my wife. I really enjoy working at Boulder Nissan, getting to know customers, and guiding them in their purchase.
I have been working in car sales for the past five years and focus on making sure every customer has a positive, straightforward experience when shopping for a vehicle. Helping people find the right car for their needs and making the process comfortable and transparent is what I enjoy most about the job.
I am a Colorado native, born and raised in Longmont, and I enjoy being part of the local community. Outside of work, I like spending time cooking a good meal and relaxing with a great movie.
Hi, I’m Nicho Christiano a proud new father and Colorado native who grew up in Westminster, Colorado where my love for the outdoors first took shape. Raised along the Front Range, I developed a passion for anything with two wheels—from tackling mountain bike trails to cruising open roads.
When I’m not spending time with family, you’ll likely find me casting a line in a quiet Colorado lake or exploring backcountry terrain. Adventure, fresh air, and horsepower have always been part of my DNA—but becoming a dad has added a whole new layer of purpose and pride to everything I do.
Professionally, I bring that same energy and authenticity to my role at Boulder Nissan, where I genuinely enjoy helping people get into their next vehicle. Whether it’s finding the perfect daily driver, upgrading to something with more capability, or helping a growing family find the right fit, I take pride in making the process straightforward, enjoyable, and pressure-free.
