Having a drummer for a father, and another for an uncle, Nathan learned to play the drums at an early age, performing in a high school talent show alongside his father and other teachers at the age of ten. He taught himself to play bass when his youth group band needed it, and guitar after that. He has been playing guitar for over six years now. He appreciates classical music and contemporary music, enjoying the blending of both worlds. His goal in teaching is to impress upon his students the same love for music he grew up with and the knowledge to be able to express themselves musically.
