Nick has spent more than two decades immersed in endurance sport and has been coaching athletes for the past 10 years. His experience spans triathlon, running, cycling, swimming, strength training and ultrarunning, giving him a perspective shaped by the science of performance, his own experience as an athlete, and a decade of working with athletes of different abilities and goals.

​

Along the way, Nick has competed at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, finished the Leadville Trail 100 Mile Run, earned a top-20 finish at the RRCA Championship Trail 50 Mile, and raced everything from short-course triathlon and road races to Ironman and ultramarathon distances.

​

A decade of coaching has shaped Nick’s approach as much as his own racing experience. Working with athletes of different abilities, backgrounds and goals has reinforced his belief that good coaching is less about following a particular system and more about knowing how to apply the right principles to the individual athlete.

​

Nick’s background in kinesiology and biomechanics provides the scientific foundation for his coaching. He uses exercise science, data and proven training principles to guide the process, while experience and communication help determine how those principles are applied. He wants athletes to understand not only what they are doing, but why they are doing it, and believes a strong coach-athlete relationship is an important part of getting the most out of the training process.

​

For Nick, successful coaching ultimately comes down to helping athletes become better, more capable and more confident while pursuing the goals that matter to them.

​

Outside of coaching and his own training, Nick spends most of his time with his wife, Ali, and their family. He continues to read, research and stay current on endurance training, physiology, biomechanics and sport psychology so that his coaching continues to evolve along with the athletes he works with.
