Originally from the first cornfield south of Chicago (Minooka, IL), Nate received his BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster University and is now a performer and producer based out of New York City. His performance skills are rooted in classical training, including singing, acting, and rock and roll--training under Lisa Campbell Albert, Lara Teeter, and Dr. Jeffrey Carter, to name a few.

​

     As a producer, he's utilized his experience from social media management (Broadway In Chicago, Jimmy Awards), graphic design, and production management to independently produce concerts (Open/Stay, BMI New Writers' Showcase), charity events (Sweet Charities), studio albums (Grace and the Ghost), an upcycled-clothing brand (BENT), and his own podcast (Les Be Gay) which was named a FeedSpot Top Queer Podcast in 2021. He continues to create independent projects in theatre, music, and visual design.

   

     Along with performing, Nate spends his days as a GLAM nominated bartender (Vers),  as well as taking care of his pet snakes, or digging for new music from up-and-coming queer artists. He's an active advocate for LGBTQ+ Rights, Sex Education Reform, and Substance Abuse Awareness.​
