I’m a Jack-of-many trades, but I go by Nathan. My passions are writing, editing, and teaching.

As a queer kid–in both senses of the word–from the Appalachian Valley, I find myself producing and drawn to works that feature rejects and are shamelessly abrasive. I love this line of work because it provides a space for everyone to say or scream what they want; there are no outcasts or barriers: just people.

Not one to limit myself, I majored in three different fields at Muskingum University: English, Economics, and Global Studies. I wrote “The Final Truth” along with an accompanying critical apparatus, participated in the FED Challenge, and wrote The World’s Tongue for the respective majors. This multidisciplinary approach along with my TEFL and fellowship experience perfectly encapsulate my passion for community building and exploring beyond the boundaries.
