Nathan has always had a passion for advocacy and community service. He began his journey toward Law School in the Boy Scouts of America, where he felt the call to serve through various troop projects, service drives, and the Eagle Scout Projects of his fellow scouts. In 2008, he completed his scouting journey by completing his own project and earning his Eagle Scout Rank. Nathan earned his Juris Doctorate from Seattle University School of Law, which focuses its curricula on Public Service and Access to Justice issues. There, he was first introduced to Criminal Defense when he interned at the Ronald A. Peterson Youth Advocacy law clinic, where he represented accused youth in King County Superior Court.
