A dreamer, gifted speaker, scholar, author, poet, and musician are just a few traits that describe Nathan.
Born in Germany to military parents, the first six years of Nathan's childhood were spent immersed in Europe learning different languages and cultures. At age four Nathan began "tickling the ivory" on the family's upright piano at home. By age eight, his mother enrolled him in Classical Piano tutoring and from there the journey continued leading Nathan to study Classical Voice in middle and high school. Troubled by the "highs and lows" of music aspiration along with the social discouragement made by some of his peers, Nathan hinged on quitting music altogether. By his early 20's it became apparent through faith and kind words that an elderly mentor commented to Nathan that traveling the world and sharing his music was a true passion that could no longer be denied.
Today Nathan still aspires to inspire people with his unrelenting faith in God, love for people, and special creative gift of music. Nathan is a multi-preneur owning a music consultation business, "All You Need International, Inc.", he writes blogs, poems, and short stories, devotes himself as a worship leader within the Christian community, and volunteers as both a minister and humanitarian in multiple arenas.
