My Dad

We've all heard the saying, "Any man can father a child, but it takes a man to be a dad." I am evidence of that truth. My dad is not biologically mine. Our D.N.A. isn't shared. I am his due to the law and a change of my last name. 

What we do share is much stronger. We love to laugh. We love politics. We love to travel. We are fascinated by world events. We love a cold beer on a hot day. We are loyal to our family. We love our friends, as if they were family. We are honest. We are kind. We learn, constantly. We treat others with respect. We are the ones people turn to in times of trouble, even if all they need to hear is a good joke. We are a myriad of things, but above all else, we are filled with love. 

Yes! I am my father's child. 

 

Thanks for entering  my world, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
