bio
Born and raised in Caldwell, Texas, Nate is one of the middle children from a family of six. His parents got married when they were seventeen, just months before his first sibling was born, and they are married to this day. Happy or not, that is up for discussion, however, it’s one that no one is allowed to bring up.
The family had inherited a farm from his grandparents, and that was where Nate had spent most of his time in. Whenever he wasn’t in school, he was working there, and whenever he wasn’t working there, he was dancing.
It was a hobby of his that his parents didn’t really tolerate. There weren’t many classes he could pick up without his parents prohibiting him, but Nate tried his best. He tried out many different styles of dancing, even picking up gymnastics and a couple martial arts classes before ballet eventually caught his eye; and yet, it was the one style his parents disapproved of the most. However, no matter how much his parents tried to steer him towards professions they would approve of, Nate was passionate, and all he wanted was to dance.
All of it, eventually, boiled down to a single, explosive argument. His parents refused to accept that their son had different views and wishes than what they wanted him to have, and, eventually, an ultimatum was made; either succumb to their choices or no longer live under their roof. Packing up whatever belongings he had, Nate took one last glance at his family and left.
His first few weeks were spent wandering around Texas, sleeping rough and barely going through the days, until eventually, the young man decided that New York was the place to go. It was the place where all the dreams came true, so why couldn’t he attempt just that for himself?
Dreams, however, didn’t help him have an easy life there. Couch surfing was what he did for the first few months until eventually landed a job- anything worked- and found a stepping stone to start his life in the city. Once he had his own bed, it was time to start with auditions, and Nate was adamant. Achieving what he wanted took a lot of hard work, but the young man was set on doing it, on getting what he wanted, and nothing could stop him.
Nothing, of course, apart from multiple rejections. Not having a proper education- having not even finished high school- Nate was rejected left and right. It was difficult, trying to achieve what he wanted, so when he made friends with another guy with similar wishes, it was like a blessing. The guy helped him with everything, supporting him and earning himself Nate’s gratitude for an eternity. It was through him that Nate got a job at NYCBC, and it was more than he could have ever asked for.
Still, that didn’t mean that he was successful. More often than not, he was either the understudy for his friend or a background dancer, but he was on the stage, and he was doing what he wanted. It didn’t pay much, and he had to find a job as a waiter to support himself through it, but all of it was worth it.
Neither did that mean that Nathan wasn’t making mistakes left and right. Exploring his sexuality, he got to be as open as he wished to be. That was, at least, until he came across the one guy who caught his eye, also capturing his heart. The two were reckless and carefree, and after a year of dating and a drunken night together, they decided to get married. It was crazy how easy it was to do that, and before Nate knew it, he was a married man.
It was only after the marriage that the two of them moved in together, finally making an attempt at family life. Yet, they clashed, often not being at home together, or ending up in petty arguments. Most of their time together was spent in negative ways, and soon enough, neither Nate nor his husband could really understand why they were doing this. After one last explosive argument, his husband packed his stuff up and left.
However, sad days did not seem to last a very long time for Nate. Happiness came with the name Rylan, and while the two had their issues, Nate was absolutely smitten by the girl. Hiding the relationship was difficult, with her being a public figure and him being a failure, but he was willing to do just about anything for her. Losing his job at NYCB was painful, he struggled with it so much, yet Rylan was there, always, for him.
Nate knew that Rylan was the one for him, so when she fell pregnant, it was like a dream come true. His career dream had failed, yet here he was, getting his ultimate dream. Yet, the pregnancy soon ended in devastating pain for both of them and now it was Nate's turn to be there for Rylan. When it happened again, he was there for her, too. When her parents gave the ultimatum and she was cut off, he was there for her, too, even if he wanted her to think really well about whether it was all worth it. Secretly, Nate was relieved when Rylan decided to stay with him.
Finally, a breath of fresh air came in the form of their rainbow baby, Savannah. Nate had never known that he could love anyone else as much as he loved Rylan, but this love was on a whole new level. The little girl quickly became his world, and he was wrapped around her tiny little finger; Nate had no regrets. He was there for every diaper change, for every moment when Rylan needed some time for herself or needed to work. He loved his girls more than life itself, and he couldn't be happier.
While his family life was going great, his career was in a state of stagnation. Being a waiter was fine, but he wanted more, even if dancing was now off the table. Coming across stuntwork was accidental, Nate had helped a friend out, but he quickly found his footing there, and he loved it. It was fascinating, it was exciting, and his background in dancing and so many other activities was more than beneficial. He trained hard, and took on anything he could, working through the oddest requests to broaden his profile, so when he finally got a high-profile job, he was thrilled.
Only, it meant moving across the country. He couldn't move alone, not when Savannah was just under two years old, so after extensive conversations with Rylan, the two decided to move. It would be temporary- so they thought- and he hoped that it would give them a fresh start they so desperately needed as a family.
