Nicholas Karatzas grew up in the flower business. His parents, George and Linda Karatzas, ran Commack Florist through his childhood, and by high school he was working in the shops in earnest, so he learned the trade in the workroom and on the delivery route before he learned it on a screen.
He joined the family business full time after a start in finance as a credit underwriter, and helped his brother Stefan take James Cress Florist online after the family bought it in 2021.
As Director of Marketing he leads the website, search, email and the delivery programs that put James Cress in front of customers across the country. He writes guides on how to send flowers, funeral and sympathy etiquette, and seasonal blooms.
