Monument Valley has been on my bucket list since I was a little kid watching westerns with my dad. I have always dreamed of a long road trip to visit these mystical carvings in the desert. As I entered the Navajo Nation and the sacred space of Monument Valley, I found myself brought to tears. Realizing a dream always does this to me. Driving around taking photos and attempting to capture a moment in time, I thought of all the people I wished were with me. Tim Hendrix and my father would have loved to explore this place.

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.
