ABOUT
Nathaniel was originally born in Queens, NY. His parents divorced when he was three, causing him and his mother to move out of Queens and to Springhill, NJ. Because of the move, Nate wasn’t able to see his father as much, but something was better than nothing. His father hadn’t made much effort to see him anyway.
He was energetic as a kid. Running around the house, getting one too many bruises from bumping his head or arms along different pieces of furniture....every kid’s dream, no? In school, he was put into different sports to try and tire him out before he got home. His mother was a lawyer, and dealing with a rowdy child 24/7 was a handful and, while she did love him, there were some days she just needed peace and quiet.Â
Sports as a child lead Nate to playing sports in high school. Football, soccer, basketball, you name it. You could consider him a popular kid, but maybe without the mean jock stereotypes. He had friends in many circles and, looking back on his high school years, Nathaniel could genuinely say he loved that time of his life.
It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, however. Although it looked like he had his life together, he really didn’t. Nathaniel was struggling to figure out what he wanted to do in life. Should he go to college on an athletic scholarship? What college did he want to go to, did he even want to go...? His mother thought the idea of not going to college - not getting any sort of degree, rather - was unfathomable.Â
As his senior year winded down, Nate decided to join the military - the Army to be specific. Two weeks after his graduation, he left to start his military career. He was hesitant at first, he wouldn’t lie. The military wasn’t for everyone...maybe it wasn’t even for him, but he didn’t turn back.
Nathaniel served in the military for eight years before deciding to walk away from it. He was 26 years old. Although he had his fair share of scrapes, bruises, and then some, Nate decided it was time to leave and pick a different path. When he got back home to Springhill, he became a police officer. He worked as an officer for the next three years before being promoted to detective, which he’s worked as ever since.
PERSONALITY
Nathaniel is a fairly outgoing guy. He can make friends with ease and can talk to just about anyone. He’s always there if someone needs support and/ or a shoulder to cry on. He prides himself on being their for his community, work aside. He loves a good laugh and a good night out every once in a while, but he also loves to stay in and watch tv just as much. On a rough day, Nate can be pretty finicky and quiet. Some days he can get in his head a little too much and starts overthinking.Â
Because of everything he’s seen and been through during his time in the military and even on the police force, Nate attends group and private therapy sessions once a week. He tends to keep that aspect of his life to himself and his close friends.
