Nate’s connection to Western runs deep – a 2006 alum, he met his wife, Molly, on campus, and the two are now proud parents of their daughter, Iris. A card-carrying, mostly-suffering Seattle sports fan, Nate brings equal parts administrative chops and genuine love of the game to his work with the Vikings.
