“Nate is able to explain complex issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in ways that people can understand. He speaks with conviction yet humility and remains open to people's questions and opinions. His training helped change the way I understand racial justice. I highly recommend him!”

— Dr. Allison Ash, Senior Affiliate Consultant for Credo and Research Team Leader for RJHE (Race and Justice in Higher Education)

“When it comes to mentoring creatives, Nate not only recognizes strengths and potentialities of individuals, but further directs their gifts to outlets that benefit others.”

— Dr. Maria Fee, Director of Brehm Cascadia

“When I think back to critical changes in my life, Nate was there. Both compassionate and wise, Nate knows how to deeply listen, how to befriend, and how to gently direct people and institutions toward a healthy future. His stabilizing and patient guidance is exactly what I've needed over the years, whether navigating seminary or trying to make a career change. If you're looking for help as you face intractable institutional crises or critical personal decisions, Nate is the voice you need in your life.”

— Michael Wright, Director of Communications for Bridge Projects

“As the facilitator of an artist’s group, Nate created a rare, peaceful space for me and 3 other artists to create new work. He was a patient listener, guiding us gently through the process of finding inspiration and developing thoughtful and connected work.”

— Mara Measor, Singer-Songwriter and Co-Founder of Sunbird Creative

“Nate was my entry point to anti-racism work. As a friend and as a white male of similar age, Nate showed me the humility and the self-searching I would need to become more honest and reflective about my privilege, my unexamined biases, and my potential to be helpful in causes I hadn't previously recognized or understood. In a world where so many are clamoring and shouting for their opinions to be heard, Nate provides a humble, informed, and examined perspective that I have already begun sharing with those who will listen.”
