Nikki Drader

Nikki is a wife and mother of 2 who lives in Frisco TX  and works as a VP in banking operations in downtown Dallas. Originally from New York, she gave up the concrete jungle of New York City for Saturdays in a pickup truck at the barn where her daughter rides horses. She likes long drives on an open road with a good playlist, and while she considers herself a hippie at heart, her other passions include NOT camping, and nested if statements.  (True story, the girl never met a VLOOKUP she didn’t like and never met a tent she did) She has run some big races like New York City (2002) and Boston (2008), but her sights are set on an OTQ and a bucket list race at the Berlin Marathon in 2020.

“The Devil whispered in my ear,

You’re not strong enough to withstand the storm.
