My years of teaching Nathan will always be with me. He was an asset to the band program as well as the Columbus Youth Jazz Orchestra. I enjoyed taking him on tours as well as teaching him one-on-one. I will miss him greatly. He truly had a great deal of musical talent.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to know him all that well, but do recall that he was quite a good chess player and musician. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
