Coach

Nick first joined MaxWay as an intern in the summer of 2022 and officially became a coach that following winter. Ever since he started there he has developed an even greater love for the strength and conditioning world with working with clients individually, in groups, or as in teams.

Before joining the MaxWay family Nick helped co-start a learn to lift program for teens at the local YMCA. From then on he volunteered his time in the varsity weight room at the University of New England (UNE) for two semesters and fully interned there for his last semester. Along with interning in the weight room he also interned as a coach for the Track & Field team at UNE, and worked with all athletes; throwers, sprinters, jumpers, and distance.

Nick is originally from Exeter, NH where he competed in football and track & field in high school, and continued his football career while at UNE. In his free time you can find him riding his bike along the seacoast or throughout the neighboring towns. Nick is also kept busy at home with three dogs, a lab, bernedoodle, and a mini doodle.
