Nathan is an incredible leader demonstrated by his ability to build, train and retain world class teams. He truly has the "it" factor that enables him to accomplish anything he sets his mind to with a level of finesse most people can only envy. When Nathan joined the team, we were at the beginning of a massive growth building stage. His contributions were instrumental to the overall success of the company and his influence will be felt for many years to come. Nathan understands the importance of enjoying work and the massive impact of a positive workplace. He curates an environment that feels like home and a team that functions as a family. The culture that he's able to create has and will continue to move mountains. I feel extremely honored to have been able to work alongside Nathan for over five years. We accomplished big goals and had a ton of fun together along the way.
