Raised in Eugene since he was 9 months old, it's no surprise that much of Nate's poetry is inspired by the landscapes and seasons of Oregon. Nate began writing in his early teens, drawing on his fascination with psychology and relationships, including one's relationship with oneself. When asked why much of his poetry focuses on somber topics, Nate simply replies, "When times are good, I'm not sitting at home writing about it." Nate currently lives in Eugene and is employed as an IT Project Manager.
