Hello, my name is Nate, 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. Personal details 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.

  • All I want is to vote a dog to public office before I die.


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