Before law school, Nate attended Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY, where he was fortunate enough to play Division I lacrosse. Bellarmine often played against university powerhouses like UNC and Duke, and Nate became familiar with the “David and Goliath” mentality needed to overcome a well-funded foe. Nate graduated cum laude with dual degrees in English and Philosophy and was recognized by Chi Alpha Sigma, a national collegiate honor’s society for athletes.

Nate went on to attend the UNC School of Law, where he volunteered with the Pro Bono clinic to help write wills for those in underserved communities. Nate appreciated the personal interactions he had with his clients and found a particular interest in helping them identify and navigate the challenging personal decisions will-writing naturally poses.

In his spare time, Nate enjoys cheering on the Indianapolis Colts, overindulging in the food and beverage scene, and constantly realizing just how far his athletic days are behind him.
