Chris Scheibe – Hawks Ultimate Head Coach

Chris first discovered ultimate two decades ago in college as an intramural player on a lark and then later for Georgia Tech's men's club team.  Realizing this was a perfect fit culturally and competitively he threw himself into it, playing year round across college, club, and whatever leagues he could find (even across state lines).  He has a deep appreciation for ultimate's community which is built on mutual respect, honesty, and sportsmanship and is proud to share those with his kids and their peers as a coach since 2022.

Nate Peek – Hawks Ultimate Coach

I started playing ultimate at Syracuse many many years ago.  Continued playing after college for about 7 yrs in DC then took a 10 year break focusing more on my music/ drumming.  We moved to Seattle in 2017 where my oldest started playing at Green Lake then at Hamilton.  At Hamilton I began coaching with Kevin Ramsey (7th) then Mike + Julia Nash (7/8th).  And this past fall I coached with Emelie Sandoz Voyer.  Looking forward to the spring season and seeing these 6th graders get better at this awesome sport!

Isaac played ultimate in graduate school at UW in the early 2000s.  He was reintroduced to ultimate in 2022 through his son's participation in West Woodland Elementary ultimate.  He has coached ultimate at West Woodland Elementary (4th/5th grades) and at HIMS in fall 2023 for 6th grade.  He is also a coach for HIMS JVC boys basketball.  Isaac has played many sports and finds ultimate to be uniquely welcoming of players at all ages and skill level.  When not coaching, Isaac enjoys skiing, fly fishing and PNW camping with his family.

Emilie first dabbled in ultimate as a way to fulfill a high school PE credit, but really fell in love with the sport after college. She has played in rec leagues in Chicago, Oakland, San Francisco, and Seattle for going on eighteen years, taking breaks when her kids were born, then forcing them to sit on the sidelines in all weather for most of their childhood. She coaches both elementary and middle school and loves that ultimate emphasizes positive spirit alongside competitive play.
