About Nathan.
3rd Generation Northlander.
Born and raised in the Northland, Nathan comes from a family of educators, ranchers, and small business owners. From the quality of schools to the strong sense of community, Nathan was fortunate to experience all the Northland has to offer. Some of his favorite childhood memories include hayrides at his grandparents’ farm, operating the Copperleaf snow cone stand, and watching the hot air balloons at the old Metro North Mall.
True Son of Missouri.
Nathan graduated from the University of Missouri, where he was elected Mizzou student body president in the highest turnout in the school's 183 year history, with over 8,500 votes cast. Nathan and his team ran on the platform of bringing “Tigers Together” as Mizzou was experiencing one of the university’s most challenging periods in terms of stakeholder interaction. In the Chancellor’s Cabinet, Nathan made it a priority to get the school’s administrators out of Jesse Hall and into student spaces on campus to connect with Tigers of all backgrounds through “Coffee on the Couch”. When Mizzou’s reputation came under attack from some nation’s biggest media outlets, Nathan responded with an Op-Ed that was shared over 10,000 times online and by the university itself, telling a more accurate account of the campus culture. Nathan was involved with the Xi Xi - chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity and graduated with a B.A. in Economics and a minor in Business.
Tiger to Teacher.
When it came time for Nathan to pursue his career post-college, he came back home to KC, eager to make a difference in the K-12 education system. Nathan has taught math for several years in both Kansas City Public Schools and Park Hill School District. Nathan is also a scholarship reviewer for KC Scholars.
Nathan attends Christ Community Church and enjoys playing pickleball, wood working, and exploring all the spots KC has to offer with friends.
