Bio
Frank B.
In all of my years in the biz Nathan is one of the best PMs I've worked with. He did an amazing job on Resident Evil 5. He is professional, efficient, and especially good at managing artists and coordinating departments. I would highly recommend him for any project without hesitation.

In the few months I interned at Craig Anderson, the quality of my work grew exponentially under Nathan's guidance. He dealt criticism and compliments with the steady but firm hand especially needed for a newbie student intern. Nathan's skills as a manager are equivalent to his passion for the industry. I was both impressed by his work and empowered by the work he passed to me. He truly refined my understanding of the development process and I look forward to keeping up with his accomplishments.
