Born and raised in Colorado, Nate grew up grew up roaming the wilderness. Dabbling in baseball, soccer, and karate he was always drawn to athletics, but his love for superheroes set the stage for a lifelong desire to be strong. In fact, Nate would faithfully wear Superman pajamas every night through grade school in the hopes that he would wake up one morning with superhuman strength.

When 9/11 happened during his sophomore year, Nate turned his energy towards military service joining the Marine Corps after graduating high school. Trained as an Arabic Cryptologic Linguist, he spent two years in Monterey, CA before being stationed at Ft. Gordon in Augusta, GA.

During his time in the military, Nate dove into bodybuilding and intentional weight training, which ultimately inspired him to pursue exercise science upon concluding his 5-year Marine Corps contract. After graduating with a B.S. in Exercise Science from Lander University in 2013, Nate’s adventures brought him to Charleston to attend physical therapy school at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

It was here he found a new fitness love in strongman competitions (think pulling garbage trucks and pressing tree trunks) and discovered a passion for CrossFit, which helped supplement his ambitious strength building with much-needed mobility and cardio.

Nate is a firm believer in the body and nervous system’s ability to recover from injury and adapt to nearly any stressor with the right movement and exercise. Through years of training, he has experienced his share of injuries and has always found ways to recover and even exceed his previous levels of performance.

Armed with his personal experience, exhaustive knowledge of physical therapy and unbridled passion for exercise science, Nate is confident in guiding you to be better than you were before your injury.
