Nathan was born in Pennsylvania but grew up in Nebraska City, a small town in the southeast corner of Nebraska. After graduating from Nebraska City High School, he attended Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa for his undergraduate studies. There, he majored in biochemistry, minored in neuroscience, and played baseball. He then returned home for medical school at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in Omaha.

The nervous system has always fascinated Nathan, and he always knew he would become a neurologist. However, it wasn't until the clinical training years of medical school that he discovered his love of pediatric medicine. Wanting the best of both fields, he decided to train in pediatric neurology!

He moved to Nashville with his wife, Madison, daughter, Sedona, and dog, Zara. He enjoys watching baseball, hiking, golfing, playing video games, traveling, playing with his puppy, and exploring this awesome city with his family. He looks forward to experiencing the world-class live music scene and becoming a Nashville sports fan.
