On any given day it would be absolutely shocking to see Nate doing anything without the assistance of his headphones. As he moves up and down throughout the halls it is always to the beat in his own mind. That’s why it wasn’t the least bit shocking to hear that the album that changed his life was Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, a detailed and sprawling album that really pushed the whole rock genre forward. Nate’s love for alternative and counterculture entertainment doesn’t just stop at music, however, with his favorite book being A .45 To Pay The Rent by brutally realistic and equally talented Charles Bukowski. One might think that all of this might make Nate distasteful of authority; however, he made sure to also give praise to Dr. David Dawson in our interview, claiming that he “couldn’t have done it without him.”
