Hello, my name is Nate, an advertising creative.

But, if you’re reading this, you probably already figured that out and would like to learn a little more about me.

You likely aren’t terribly interested learning that my first job in advertising was one that I consider a real “foundational learning experience” which is code for “I stunk at it.”

No, you’re here for the personal details. Things like I was adopted or that I grew up in Minnesota or that I have no idea what’s going on with my hair in this photo. So without further ado, a few personal details below…

PERSONAL DETAILS

  • I recently learned you can’t have a coworker fired for writing “Fri-yay” in an all-company email.

  • Started amateur boxing shortly after moving to LA. In my first fight, not only did I get the brakes beat off of me but I also suffered a severe concussion.

  • Strongly believes that restaurants should be legally required to disclose if they use a cheese sauce versus shredded cheese in their nachos.

  • Still haven’t convinced myself that taxidermy decor won’t improve my quality of life.

  • My dream is to open a retirement home for senior dogs that are on kill lists even though it’ll lose money year over year.


Although it just occurred to me that you are here for the professional details so I’ve listed them below.
