Nate has been playing video games since the age of 4, when his older brother received a Nintendo for Christmas. After experimenting with some legos and dice, he moved on to creating paper role-playing games and text RPGs in Q-Basic with his childhood friend.

Also, he looks for any excuse to hone his music composition skills, so if you're currently designing a game and need some tunes, feel free to contact Nate anytime.
