I hate constantly worrying about money.

Alright, oppressive heat, you can go away now.

If this weekend’s weather in Seattle is a glimpse into our climate change future, I wholeheartedly pass.

I am fascinated by those who see the world differently than me.

I fondly remember the days of apartment air conditioning.

This weekend, I visited Golden Gardens Park here in Seattle for the first time. I went with a group of people and was surrounded by countless others. It was everything my extroverted soul needed.

6/18/21

Yesterday, we had Brandon’s family over for dinner. Throughout the evening, I felt intensely proud of what we have built together.

6/17/21

All I want is for Brandon to find a career that makes him happy and gives him purpose.

6/16/21

I am exhausted by the fundraising cycle.

6/15/21

I am ready for new professional challenges.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Nathan Box
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.
