Nathan’s first-ever climbing experience was back in 2008, in Yosemite National Park. His best friend’s uncle, Scott, a rock climbing guide of over 30 years, took him out to a 600-foot wall. Scott helped him put his harness on and taught him how to tie in. As Nathan looked up the wall, his nerves set in. He told Scott, “I don’t know if I can do this…” Scott asked him, “Can you climb stairs?” “Well, yes, yes I can,” Nathan responded, and Scott said, “Then you can rock climb!” This picture of Nathan at the top of that 600-foot wall as a kid is the day he discovered his life’s passion.
All Ways Adventure is truly a combination of all of Nathan’s passions. He grew up in the motor sports world, operating off-road machines; he loved being outdoors as a kid; in high school, he thought he was going to become a teacher; and once he started climbing, he found himself at his indoor rock climbing gym every day. He volunteered at the gym, helping out with birthday parties, and it was then that he realized he could do this as his career; he could become a professional guide. So here he is, living his life’s dream, taking guests out on canyoneering, off-roading, and hiking adventures.
Nathan has decided that this whole being an adult thing isn't really a good fit for him. In his spare time, you can find him riding dirt bikes, rock climbing, and generally just occupying unique spaces.
Also, as a little-known fact, Nathan is a struggling comedian!
