“Nathan displays an extraordinary ability to bridge the gap between plain English and computerese. While putting together a web site for me he patiently walked me through the steps needed for me to manage and utilize the site to its fullest potential on my own. Nathan successfully dragged me kicking and screaming into the 21st century.”
-- Patrick Cardiff, owner of Cardiff Art, via LinkedIn

“I worked with Nathaniel on an independent project involving mesh wireless networks. Nathaniel organized everything, instigated meetings and came up with the design and approaches -- basically nothing happened without him.”
-- Robert Ristroph, owner of Leather Apron Tech, LLC, via LinkedIn

“Nathaniel is very engaged in the use and promotion of Free and Open Source Software. He has helped promote Gnu/Linux and FOSS to school districts. He has also been very helpful in the establishment of the non-profit reglue.org which helps to put computers with Gnu/Linux in the hands of economically disadvantaged public school students. He is a team player who is adept at troubleshooting and has boundless energy.”
-- Donald Davis, head of ReGLUE non-profit, via LinkedIn

“Nathan was a very conscientious worker, always considerate of the "why" behind what he was doing. Thanks to this mindfulness, he was always able to thoroughly resolve issues as well as create well thought solutions. Plays well with others.”
-- Gina Hall, Logistics Manager at Roxor Games, via LinkedIn

“Nathaniel is a creative worker who applies intelligence to whatever project he takes on. During our time together, he was always someone I could bounce ideas off, and he would tell me what he thought without trying to 'spin' the boss. A good person, I am proud to have worked with him.”
-- Stephen Sopko, CEO at Steve Jackson Games, via LinkedIn

“Nathan was put in a situation where he had to organize about 7 different versions of MacOS, Linux and Windows operating systems (from Windows 98 and MacOS 8.2 through OS X and Windows XP) into a coherent network, while maintaining legacy hardware, and keeping assorted e-commerce and web servers up and running. When he started, the computer situation he was dealing with looked an awful lot like someone had hauled in a load of junk from an attic. When he left, it was a managed, documented network with most of its quirks identified, if not actually fixed. Were I to gig Nathan for anything, it's that he didn't put a high enough priority on his personal life while he was at SJ Games. The environment there was one that can consume your entire life, and Nathan kept coming back for more work.”
-- Ken Burnside, Print Buyer for Steve Jackson Games, via LinkedIn

“Nathaniel is an IT wizard with a strong sense of dedication to his work. It was not unusual for him to work odd hours, go off-site, or do whatever else was required to get the job done.”
-- Scott Haring, e23 Manager for Steve Jackson Games, via LinkedIn

“Nathaniel was a system engineer at Steve Jackson Games while I was working as a webmaster. His ability to prioritize and task management has been like no other I have worked with. He had a full knowledge of the products and operating systems he worked with. He was also very knowledgeable in the art of web mastery and aided me when I would have issues. I miss my time working with him, because I knew I could always rely on him.”
-- Leroy Everett, Webmaster at Steve Jackson Games, via LinkedIn

“While under the employ of Affordable Computers, Nathaniel applied his knowledge of programming and systems to produce outstanding results for the company. He learned a lot while he was here and showed the ability to obtain reliable information and knowledge when required. He was able to take direction and execute tasks to completion without supervision. He was excellent at applying his knowledge to formulate recommendations for systems changes and improvements. He also was good at presenting options with corresponding pluses and minuses in response to issues or directives he encountered and/or received.”
-- Mike Nadeau, owner of Affordable Computers, via LinkedIn

"Excellent work! Quick, Thorough, Professional, Detailed. I selected his bid as winning bid. Went to bed, and woke up and it was done."

“Nathan, as a conceptual designer, is constantly on the cutting-edge or simply ahead of his time. He can organize and hold together sustainable groups, maintaining a sense of calm under pressure. Extreme situations only provide extreme challenges, to which he has overcome one after another.”
-- Kan Lamat, Lead Logistics Engineer for Black Rock City Temporary Community, via LinkedIn

“If I have ever asked Nathan a question about computers, he has either already known the answer, or he would research it and find out the necessary information. In fact, whenever I have asked him for his opinion about any subject in general, he has always offered reasonable and trustworthy counsel (even if it meant directing me to someone else for more reliable information about a subject that was not in his repertoire). Nathan enjoys a challenge and designs effective solutions for problem situations. I have observed him to be punctual and industrious. He also works extremely well independently, as well as in group settings. As a colleague and contractor, I consider him to be an extremely valuable asset.”
