Nathan was born in Mount Vernon, Illinois in 1977. He graduated high school from Mount Vernon Township High School in 1996 where he, unknowingly at the time, met his future wife. He then followed that with trade school for welding at Rend Lake College where he found his passion for his lifelong career in welding. Not long after beginning his career Nathan had his first child Weston in 2008. Following closely, he reconnected with an old friend and sparked a new romance to the love of his life April. Nate and April solidified their love for each other on September 22, 2012. Not only did he gain a wife that day, but he gained three daughters that he treated as his own.
Nathan was a man of many interests and hobbies. His favorites included his passion and commitment to the Missouri Mudder’s off road riding and racing group he joined with his wife and dog Little Bit. There he met many friends that he loved dearly and viewed as family. When he wasn’t riding though he was spending time out with his other family of friends in his karaoke world. Nathan and April thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the people they cared for and creating memories to last a lifetime. And that they will.
