In his early career, Nate spent time working on trail crews, farming, and adventuring outdoors. His carpentry journey began with homestead and farm-focused projects, but he soon realized his desire to learn more about the craft and science of building. Since then, Nate has focused on expanding his knowledge of building science, with a particular emphasis on passive house and net-zero design. He has served on the Passive House NW Board and provides training to others in the field. He greatly appreciates the process of helping clients bring their desires to life through the creation of built spaces and witnessing the transformation of their environments.

Outside of the job site, he enjoys activities such as white-water canoeing, trail running, camping/ backpacking, and working on home projects.
