After 10 years in enterprise software implementation and deployment strategies, Nate ditched the suit and tie for T-shirts, jeans, and a mountain man beard. He’s totally serious about his work, though—and the beard. When he’s not teleporting to meet with clients or attending WordCamps, he can be found scanning the latest developments in software, server, and data management tools. He also spends time with Arete Imagine’s corporate furry mascot, Holly, and wife and Bridge-Builder, Marisa. He is busy planning a move from the Northeast to the mountains of Colorado, where he suspects his recovery will be complete.
