The maternal line came from Germany and Scotland. A similarly broad mix typifies his father's side -- prior to emigrating near the end of the nineteenth century, Bredimus' forerunners made their homes in Luxembourg and England. Even after their arrival in the U.S.A, the family kept its work ethic and determination to survive and thrive. Nicholas, as well as his six siblings, was a child of a father who earned his living as a software design engineer and a mother who worked as a practicing nurse. Bredimus would dwell in the Lone Star State for a while as well as in Reston, VA, Scottsdale, AZ and Kansas City, MO.
What did he do with his pedigree and education? A number of respected jobs were soon his, all working for distinguished airlines. These included the title of vice president for Hughes Airwest, Republic Airlines, and Trans World Airlines (TWA). But above all the airlines have had reason to thank him for his pioneering work in software programming.
His creation of airplane maintenance programs, typical now in the entire airline business although originally designed for one specific company, ultimately led to what is still his most famous creation. And yet this stands as just one of his major innovations for airlines and for the hotel sector. The booking programs he developed are on their way to becoming as commonly used as the aforementioned software, and his hotel reservation program enabled several major businesses in the hotel industry to leverage a PC based architecture.
And next came an online, networked system for ticket ordering that stands as a first. He leveraged these successes to advance into capacities unconnected to software design, and went on to shine. Major positions with American Airlines and American Express were to come, and in the biggest move of all he set up a business of his own seventeen years ago.
Is he still active? Absolutely -- his savvy is called upon and at the ready despite his retirement. Presently, you can look for his work in high-priced apartments employing all of the newest technologies on the market.
