He is also a former healthcare provider and served in nursing homes and hospitals, and as an EMT. He is currently the owner of Sgt. Nate Fitness, and has served as a fitness instructor for the past 20 years. He has a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Leadership Development and offers personal development coaching and guidance counseling. He is an ordained minister, and offers couple’s counseling and life coaching.
He is the father of four adult children and 2 grandchildren. He has traveled throughout the US and toured Johannesburg, South Africa as a singer songwriter for over 33 years. He has 4 recordings to his credit on his owner CSP Record label. He has composed well over 200 songs and has performed with local groups and choirs.
He has studied martial arts at the age of 14 and went on to teach friends, fellow school mates and eventually, private and group training clients at his fitness studio. He grew up admiring the works of martial arts legend, philosopher, and actor, Bruce Lee. He studied his moves and vocal tone to the point of imitating him. From his fascination of this fighting legend, Nate, became enamored with Bruce’s philosophical approach to life. Having read many of his quotes and sayings, Nate began coming up with his own. He would use them in the form of wise quotes, inspirational analogies, and motivation stimulations at the end of his daily workout classes. His clients and students would attend many times just to hear what words of enlightenment he would share that day. Some were even disappointed when he didn’t share such words of empowerment. He would respond by saying, “When HE gives it to me, I’ll give it to you. He believed all the words spoken should be inspired and not contrived or forced.
During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Nate began looking around to see what skills he hadn’t tapped into yet, that could better help him navigate through the painful season. He then realized he had years of quotes and post saved to his Facebook site. Finding them to be as powerful as the day he originally spoke them. He decided to publish them into what turned out to be his first of many more to come, books of self-empowerment.
He drew from his military training and religious upbringing, to provide words of instructions, direction, encouragement, enlightenment, and empowerment with a strong sense of military flavor. He understands many who will relate to the pages of this book. Will be coming from a place of personal experience. And each person has to find within themselves, the courage and strength to move forward past failures, devastations, and losses long gone by. Knowing that it will not be an easy journey. But each person seeking to come to terms with the unexpectant occurrences of life. Must mount up like a soldier. Suit up like a soldier. Develop the mental toughness of a solider and keep their focus on the task at hand and get the mission done.view less
