Nathan relocated to Tacoma from Ontario, Canada to embrace life closer to the ocean and mountains. In 2019 he graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Arts degree where he completed a double major in honors Criminal Justice and Public Policy as well as honors Sociology. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, Nathan began law school in both the United States and Canada ultimately graduating in 2023 with two Juris Doctorates from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and the University of Windsor Faculty of Law. While studying law in Detroit, Michigan, he helped found the Arts and Entertainment Legal Clinic to provide pro bono legal services to artists and creators in the state of Michigan. Nathan was later admitted to the Washington State Bar Association in October of 2024.

Nathan worked throughout his education, often in construction and was most recently a carpenter in Toronto, Ontario’s bustling film industry. As well as being an attorney, he draws on his experience working in the trades to understand client’s circumstances before and after a workplace injury to better assist their claims. This reason is what drew him to join Vail Cross-Euteneier & Associates firm in early 2025, so he could blend his experience and education to advocate on behalf of injured workers.
