Biography
Hi there! I'm Nate. Pell-mell road biker, self-made mulleteer, scrap-wood builder, home coffee roaster, kid wrangler, narrative podcaster, and sacred cow-tipper. But that's nights and weekends.
I started as an ad copywriter, but thanks to many great colleagues and jobs, have grown into an ecosystems thinker with a brand strategist mind, an editor's eye, and a customer experience obsession (who still knows how to write).
Along the way, I've defined and enhanced brands at three-person boutiques and billion-dollar behemoths. Refined the UX and customer experience for headphones, iPhones, and custom homes. Found the aspirational side of healthcare, heat pumps, and insurance.
As a podcasting instructor, I co-designed an award-winning narrative podcasting training program, launching up-and-coming audio storytellers to new jobs, increased confidence, and their own awards. As editor, I've helped shape and clarify stories for three accoladed scripted podcasts.
But why will all this help you? Because while we justify with facts, we buy on emotion. We buy for identity and self-expression and finding our people.
What I can do for you is define or refine your brand, what it will do for your core customers — and even more importantly, how it will say the right thing about them.
So if you're ready to unlock the resonant story inside your product or business, let's chat!
