Nathan studied biochemistry at Eastern Connecticut University. He has a wide range of pet experience, both as an owner and as a long-time volunteer at the Stamford Nature Center. While he loves small mammals the most, Nathan loves working with animals of all sizes and species. In his spare time, he enjoys running, kayaking, and generally being outdoors. Nathan shares his home with Tex, a personality-loaded, four-year-old tabby cat, and Nimbus, a foster-fail kitten.
