| Fun Fact About Me | I had 3.5 years of winter without a summer (by choice!) as I chased snow between Utah and New Zealand. I managed to ride my snowboard 200 days per year and loved every minute of it. |

Nic lives in South 365体育官网 (a short bike ride away, regardless of the season) with his wife Amy and two children Sage and Cora. We proudly bike to work and school every day of the year, yes even in deep winter.
Nic loves riding bikes (any kind), snowboarding and playing golf. He is also excited to do almost any outdoor activity. Is drinking coffee a hobby?
The dirt roads of the Vermont countryside are some of the best places to ride a bike in the world.
