Nathan is passionate about residential design and believes that every project offers an opportunity to create a unique home in harmony with the needs of the client and the environment.   His ability to think both creatively and practically results in projects which are both economical and poetic.

A Pacific Northwest native, Nathan was raised in the Willamette Valley town of McMinnville, Oregon. He attended the University of Oregon and received a Bachelors of Architecture, Cum Laude, in 1997.   Nathan completed his professional licensure in 2003 and is a registered Architect in Oregon and Hawaii.

Upon graduation, Nathan moved to Portland where he interned at WaterLeaf Architecture & Interiors. Nathan became a key member of the WaterLeaf team as a designer and project captain on numerous residential, commercial and transit projects.   Nathan spent two years as a project architect at Yost Grube Hall Architecture where he was responsible for all aspects of institutional and community college projects. During this time he remained involved with smaller projects managing two local Church remodels including a renovation and expansion of a Pietro Belluschi designed building.

In 2004 Nathan was hired as a lead designer at the Kauai, Hawaii firm of DeJesus Architecture & Design. It was here that he was re-immersed in custom residential projects, designing a variety of projects from high-end remodels to expansive resort complexes overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

Nathan’s architectural knowledge has been enhanced through extensive world travel. He lived in Israel for one year, spent a summer studying Architecture in Rome, and has traveled throughout Europe and South Africa.

In his free time Nathan enjoys gardening, surfing, and spending time with his wife Christine and the newest addition to his family, daughter Leila.
