Just¹ some² Nathan here. I like projects that focus on community building and people who invite nuance to every conversation.

I’m currently working a day job, but available to freelance for a cause.

  1. just is one of my favorite words, because it can mean recent, exactly, or morally right, and the scent of ambiguity makes my mouth water

  2. some is another one of my favorite words for similar reasons. It can be a dismissive and imprecise term referring to nothing important, or it can be a superlative, like “some pig” in Charlotte’s Web

I’ve moved around a lot, but these days you can usually find me on Long Island, New York.

The summer before I started high school, I went vegan and promptly got a job at McDonald’s to pay for my new diet. I have never had a job without an accompanying irony. My most fulfilling work has aligned my passion for inclusion with my natural introversion.

Volunteer and Activist

Time is better invested than spent, and I savor the opportunities presented to progress our species in whatever small way I can toward a more just, more thoughtful, and more beautiful world. Check out my focuses, if you’d like to work together.

Thinker

Disregarding idiosyncratic thought processes and ideologies, I believe the best minds have the greatest capacity for nuance. My goal in this life is to learn what I can from everyone and synthesize something of value. Track my progress.

Amazon Trainer

I’ve worked across two Amazon business lines, both focused on customer fulfillment. Safety is my top concern, and I have voluntarily put in the OSHA hours to prove it. I support inventory integrity as a means of not only satisfaction but also efficiency. My training reflects these values.

I have consulted with various nonprofit and political campaigns in the field and online to deliver messages that matter.

When given the choice between reading tea leaves or serving tea, I’ll always choose the latter.

Many campaigns, projects, and programs have died in the planning stages, which is why I favor implementation and iteration over endless ideation. See my works cited.
