Nate grew up in New City, New York and caught the golf bug early.  The golf course soon became not only a babysitter but also a place to begin a career.  It's hard to believe, but Nate (33) has spent 20 years working in golf!  After graduating Clemson University (go Tigers!), Nate found himself in Denver, Colorado where he was elected to the PGA of America in 2012.  A great opportunity as First Assistant at Tetherow moved Nate to Central Oregon in 2014 and after three seasons there and four seasons at Broken Top, a new career focusing on junior golf coaching emerged.  He is very excited to be a part of the Bend Golf Club community where he hopes to share his love for learning and the game of golf.  Nate lives in Redmond with his wife CJ, son Levon and two dogs Murphy and Tatanka.
