Kara Schroeder

Gray Line of Portland

I had the pleasure of working with Nate at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). Not only did we work side-by-side as Guest Services Supervisors, I was part of the group who interviewed and hired Nate for the position. I knew instantly that he would be a great addition to our team.

Nate seems to develop a rapport with everyone he meets. His communication skills and interpersonal abilities are superior. Not only was Nate a fantastic supervisor, he had a way with customers that is often hard to find in the customer service industry. During major exhibits at OMSI, Nate kept his cool and managed crowds with ease. He also kept the staff motivated and relaxed with his down-to-earth approach and sense of humor. You could always count on Nate to lighten the mood when things got a little stressful.

He readily accepted new challenges in his supervisory role, and worked the nights shifts no one else wanted. If Nate saw a way to make the department run more smoothly and efficiently, he wasn't afraid to offer suggestions. Although we both eventually left OMSI and followed different career paths, we have stayed in touch.

Nate still makes me laugh, and I continue to value his wisdom and insights. Nate has a creative and sharp mind, and is an amazing writer. He would bring a spark of enthusiasm and new ideas to any organization. I can't recommend Nate highly enough!

Whenever Nate and I worked together to create social and brand content, he had no shortage of ideas or energy to do good work.

Nicholas Sande

Wheel Builder at Sugar Wheel Work

When we hired Nathan into our department at Cielo Cycles, he made an immediate and positive impact to many aspects of our production environment. He cared deeply for working as a team, held great patience and maturity, and learned the role of being a bicycle frame builder very quickly.

In addition to his skill set was his stellar personality, he was both serious about what he did and completely hilarious at the same time. He always seemed to be able to crack a smile on our faces even when things were tense and busy. If things went wrong in the shop, he was eager to resolve the issue, help put preventative measures in place and move onto the next thing.

His work ethic is second to none. Nathan was always on time, ready to work and utilized his time well. He was certainly one of the finest employees I've ever worked with and know he'd make a great asset in any environment.
