That experience inspired Nate to pursue an internship with Guardian, which eventually led to a full-time position. Today, Nate works in financial reporting and analysis, providing leadership with the insights needed to scale the business and optimize operations as Guardian continues to expand its reach and impact.

Nate is passionate about serving with integrity and excellence, and he strives to bring a high level of character, purpose, and accountability to everything he does.

Outside of work, Nate enjoys staying active through weightlifting, basketball, and volleyball. He also enjoys spending time outdoors, especially camping in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. Nate is actively involved in his church community, where he enjoys volunteering and serving others. His faith in Jesus is foundational to his life and guides his approach to both his work and relationships.
