Writing about church, politics, and technology. Building a few things in between.
Dear reader,
Hey y'all, I'm Nate. By day I lead Customer Success & Service Delivery at LinkLive.ai. On the side I write about church, politics, and technology, and build a few small things I hope make life a little easier for the people who use them.
Most of what I write circles the same conviction: that technology should serve people, that housing should be reachable for working families, and that the church should be a place people actually want to be on a Sunday morning. I'm more optimistic about all three than the internet would have you believe.
Outside of work, I enjoy the difficult things: philosophy, faith, and politics. When I need to think clearly, I walk. When I need to solve something, I hike. There's something about 14,000 feet that makes problems feel solvable (likely the lack of oxygen).
Husband to Katie. Girl dad. SF Bay Area.
Always,
Nate
