Nate was homegrown in Seattle. He spent his formative years on a bike, up in a tree, and on the ground playing with sticks. His mom taught him about the world. When he was ten, Nate was cast at Seattle Repertory Theatre and thus ensued a thrilling stint in child-actor-dom. The rehearsal room was the first community he knew. 

When he was 15, Nate went to school for the first time. He attended the most academically rigorous school in the state and spent his summers making theatre with friends in a dusty black box they rented themselves. Emboldened by a devoted group of drama teachers and peers, he decided to shun academia and listen to his heart.  

At Carnegie Mellon’s School of Drama, Nate began attaching craft to the thing he loved. Bringing stature and intensity, he gravitated toward the charismatic, morally ambiguous, man-in-power archetype. He played a helpless Macbeth, a stone-cold Creon, and a fervid Dance Teacher Pat in Clare Baron’s Dance Nation. Nate was recently invited to study at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney, Australia where he had his habits challenged by some of the brightest teachers in the league.

Acting aside, Nate is an avid hiker, skilled violinist, and spirited young carpentor. Nate is wholly indebted to his family who charted a unique course for him from the start.
