NSCA Success Story: Coitcom

"A military mantra I have adopted is: 'Cover, move, communicate.' It is essential that you protect your team and mission at all times," says Kevin Miller, Coitcom. "You do that best by constantly adjusting your position and tactics to fit the situation."

Being part of a trade organization and the overall community is a huge plus for Coitcom’s development. Because of NSCA, Coitcom has partners and friends throughout the country that it relies on for guidance, experience, and partnership. The Coitcom team is constantly bouncing ideas and experiences off NSCA to get feedback and improve its decision-making. As the world continues to get smaller, the company has also partnered with multiple NSCA members to service clients throughout the country and internationally.
