Nic Wright serves as the Partnerships Manager for Montgomery Whitewater, a role he assumed in August 2024. As the leader in partnerships, Wright builds relationships, generates revenue and investments from private entities, and identifies the right partners for park events such as 5Ks, adventure races, and kids’ races. He also identifies entitlement and advertising opportunities for local businesses and corporations, using the park as a platform to build a more robust outdoor recreation community: “Bring the world to Montgomery and Montgomery to the world.”
Wright’s proudest career accomplishment is that he brought the first-ever hockey game to Montgomery on January 24, 2026. In addition to his professional work, he remains actively involved in the community as Vice President of the Montgomery Bicycle Club and as an Ambassador for the Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce. His roles involve promoting recreational and competitive cycling, planning events, organizing group rides, supporting bike donation programs, attending ribbon cuttings, networking with local businesses, and welcoming new Chamber members.

Childhood Aspirations: A Taxi Driver. I always thought the simplicity of driving around and making money would be the ultimate freedom.
