Nathan graduated from North Carolina State University with a major in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Trombone Performance. Raised in Greensboro, NC, Nathan enjoys the creative outlet of musical composition, the satisfying utility of small coding projects, the storytelling possibilities of playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends, and the profound epiphanies from critically engaging scripture. In NC State's RUF, Nathan was privileged to experience a complex community that was brilliantly authentic, nourishing, and impactful; these friends were certainly his favorite aspect of university as a whole. Nathan is honored and deeply thankful to have the opportunity to come alongside and serve the RUF community at Brown and RISD.
