The Founders

Nick and Billy’s passion for wellness kicked in while working out as kids with their father. Their careers began in the corporate world, but their growing passion for fitness drove them back to health and wellness. After many years of training, coaching and learning, they wanted to create a space and a system that reflected their holistic approach.

Nick started his career in corporate sales. One night, he was jumped and robbed while walking home from a bar. When he woke up, he knew that he wanted to make massive shifts in his life, so he decided to quit his job and to move to Thailand to find himself.

After diving deeper into his personal growth and studies in yoga and philosophy, he desired to share it with professionals who were struggling with the same stress levels that he once had. He moved back to the Bay Area, where he started teaching yoga and leading teacher trainings at esteemed studios and opened his own transformative life coaching practice.

Billy began working as a personal trainer while in college. He moved to Taiwan shortly after graduating and quickly put his entrepreneurial spirit to work by starting a sports company in Taipei. He continued to offer personal training and to coach basketball, eventually coaching Taiwan’s national under-18 team.

After four years there, he moved home to the Bay Area to explore a career in finance, working as a sales trader at a hedge fund. In the evenings, he taught TRX classes and continued learning about fitness.
In 2017, Nick and Billy came across a space in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco that looked special. Soon after, Tribe was born.

In 2019, Tribe added Justin Harris to the leadership team to help support members with wellness coaching and personal growth. Justin wields a background in public health, business and executive coaching, specializing in empowering individuals and startups to grow their teams and brands. He also has built and sold various businesses. His passion lies in seeing transformation in clients when they find the confidence that already lived inside of them.
