NATHAN’S LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

Nathan believes that if you align yourself with incredible people, put their needs ahead of your own, and are willing to outwork everyone then good things will happen. He strives to live out his personal purpose statement, “To see all I can do with all that I have been given by always going for it, never forgetting who I am in the process and helping everyone I can along my journey to live out a story worth telling. On judgement day my life will have been deemed a success because I will be able to say, ‘I have nothing left. I used everything you gave me.’”
