I have a confession to make. I, Nathan Box, find the world of professional chefs fascinating. The reason is largely unknown to me, but my hunch is that it centers around pure admiration for their talent; a talent I wish I possessed. For this reason, I selected "Deconstructing Dani Garcia" during the 2016 Seattle International Film Festival. Over the next 80+ minutes, my respect grew even more. Not necessarily for the chef before me, but the craft in general. There are those of us who go to work just trying to eek out a living. Then there are those who are constantly trying to push the line of what is expected forward. This movie, perhaps more than any other I have seen on the subject, did exactly that. If you consider yourself a foodie and an admirer of the craft, I highly recommend this film. 

Be good to each other, 

-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.
