Holm coached at Providence from 2012-2016 where he helped guide the Friars to their first ever appearance in the Big East Tournament in 2016.

Holm came to Providence College after spending four seasons at Tufts as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator (2009-12) under Daly. While with the Jumbos, Holm worked closely with the program’s face-off unit and defense.

The Jumbos captured the NCAA title in 2010, finished as NCAA runner-up in 2011 and advanced to the NCAA semifinals in 2012. During Tufts’ NCAA title run in 2010, Holm was honored as USILA National Assistant Coach of the Year and also served as a head coach at the East-West All-Star Game. In four seasons as an assistant coach at Tufts, the program compiled a 68-11 overall record.

Holm also enjoyed an impressive playing career at Tufts, and earned a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2007. He went on to complete his masters at Tufts in 2011 in Urban Environmental Planning and Policy.
