Nathan worked on the water his entire life. At 16 years old he lied about his age to be able to get onto the merchant ships that were travelling to India.

Nathan loved stock car racing, and had been going to the races when the track was where the Mariner’s Center is now. He never missed a race at Lake Doucette Motor Speedway. Nathan was known to tease people every now and again, all in good fun. In his quiet times he enjoyed putting puzzles together.
