OC Pro’s representative Nick Brackett for Mighty Machine Rentals

Nick Brackett is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Mighty Machine Rentals, a fast-growing heavy equipment rental company based in Santa Ana, CA.

Before launching Mighty Machine, Nick spent 15 years building and running a cannabis operation that scaled to 50 employees and over $60 million in lifetime sales — sharpening his skills in operations, logistics, team management, and business development along the way.

When he exited the industry, he turned his attention to a simple observation: his $90,000 Kubota was generating $400 a day in rental income. He saw an opportunity, secured equipment financing, and spent the first eight months as a one-man show — handling marketing, sales, logistics, and everything in between.

Today, Mighty Machine Rentals is rated the #1 equipment rental yard in Santa Ana, outranking national competitors like United Rentals and Sunbelt. With 16 pieces in the current fleet and a plan to scale to 1,000+ units across multiple locations and states over the next 7–10 years, the company is built for aggressive, systems-driven growth.

Nick’s edge: relationships over volume, speed over bureaucracy, and AI-integrated operations from day one.
