Artisan Home Resorts Sponsors 81-Time National Champion Coach Eric Spence Named NASA Powersports Lifter Of The Year.

Artisan Home Resorts, a premier Middle Tennessee luxury custom home resort builder, proudly announces that brand ambassador and performance director Coach Eric Spence has secured his 81st career national title at the 37th Annual NASA Natural Nationals.

The historic performance - which also earned Spence 2025 NASA Powersports Male Athlete of the Year (Push/Pull Masters 1 & 2) and Men's Overall Powersports Lifter of the Year - serves as the national launch point for Artisan's expanding family performance training environments and youth athletic scholarship initiative across Brentwood, Nashville, and the greater Middle Tennessee region.

Artisan Home Resorts founder Rick Pendleton was in attendance to support Spence, reinforcing the deep alignment between the company's "Artisan Athletic Courses" and Coach Spence's lifetime of disciplined, faith-based excellence.

“Watching Coach Spence earn his 81st career title is a powerful reminder of why Artisan Home Resorts chose to support his journey. His faith, his commitment to drug-free excellence, and the way he pours that discipline back into young people reflect everything we believe a home-and a legacy-should stand for,” said Rick Pendleton, founder of Artisan Home Resorts.

This historic performance now aligns Artisan perfectly for the future launch of Artisan Athletic Scholarship, a pioneering initiative that will focus on Middle Tennessee families with rising elementary and middle school athletes. By leveraging Coach Spence's legendary career and deep ties within the Middle Tennessee Schools and surrounding schools in the area, the program creates a performance-driven ecosystem where families can invest in high-level home training environments while earning NIL-compatible scholarship support.

"My motivation has always been rooted in my Christian values and the desire to inspire the next generation to compete with integrity," said Coach Spence. "Partnering with Artisan allows me to take that mission into the backyards of families across Tennessee. We are building the spaces where the next generation of champions will be raised."
