Professional Experience
Nathan brings his experiences working for a home builder to EnergyLogic. As the Business Development Manager, Nathan works with builders of all sizes to help find areas for improvement and opportunities to grow closer to the idea that all homes can be efficient, healthy, and resilient.
After graduating with a master’s degree in building science from Appalachian State University, Nathan came to the Denver metro area to work for a high-performance production home builder. Time spent working for a builder has helped Nathan understand what is important to builders and what information they need to get the job done. He has presented on building science, renewable energy, and home builder quality assurance throughout the country including sessions at Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET®), The Energy & Environmental Building Alliance (EEBATM), & The NAHB International Builders' Show® (IBS). Nathan is also active in the local community volunteering on issues that are important to him and doing his best to be on a mountain bike as much as possible.
What passions, talents, or interests do you bring to your position at EL?
Before EnergyLogic, I worked for a high-performance builder. That experience prepared me to be a "translator" for these two worlds. Builders and raters operate in similar spheres, but view their work very differently. I enjoy helping each side understand each other better, enabling everyone to succeed.
What is your favorite thing about your job?
I enjoy the opportunity to take something great and make it even better, whether that is working internally with the team at EnergyLogic or with all the amazing builders along the Front Range.
Do you have a favorite core value? If so, why?
B - Build a Better Mousetrap. I am not the person to be content with the status quo and I am always looking for opportunities to improve!
What made you want to work at EnergyLogic?
EnergyLogic has developed a team of passionate, intelligent, and talented people that care about the homes they service and the people that they work with.
Where/what did you study in school?
East Tennessee State University - B.S. Construction Engineering Technology
Appalachian State University - M.S. Technology Concentrations in Sustainable Building Design and Construction and Building Science
Do you have any unique hobbies?
I grew up in a kitchen and I love to cook. Currently I am working on perfecting my pasta making skills.
How would you spend your perfect Saturday?
Good food, a good book, and some time outside.
