He started his career at Honda Willmar, currently known as Motorsports of Willmar before moving to the cities. In the cities Nate worked in Research and Development (R&D) for Viper Motorcycles and later CF Moto. He enjoyed R&D, he travelled to Arizona, Texas, California, and Colorado where he tested the motorsport vehicles in various climates and terrain. Throughout his career he obtained various industry training and experiences making him an expert mechanic and was often called for advice by family and friends on what to purchase or what to stay away from. Known for his infectious sense of humor, big heart, and unwavering kindness, Nate was always there to lend a hand or offer a listening ear. He cherished his loved ones deeply and could always be counted on for support, no matter the circumstance.

Nate's legacy of kindness, laughter, and friendship will forever live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be missed beyond words.
His family finds comfort in knowing his strong relationship and belief in God. Nate read his Bible daily and would post verses in his home.

John 14:6
