Prior to working in massage therapy, Nathaniel received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Duke University in 1999. At Duke, Nathaniel also followed a pre-medical course of study. His medical interest originally stemmed from having had scoliosis correction surgery in 1993. It was during his time at Duke that he explored what it meant to be a doctor and felt that going to medical school and becoming a doctor would not lead to a career or life that would be a satisfying fit for him. It was also during this time that Nathaniel was first introduced to massage and bodywork therapy. After graduation from Duke Nathaniel spent four years in Atlanta working as a software engineer. While in Atlanta Nathaniel came to understand more about his future goals and trained as a massage therapist at the Atlanta School of Massage®.
Nathaniel has been nationally certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork(NCBTMB) since September of 2002. He has also been a member of the American Massage Therapy Association®(AMTA®) since May of 2003. The AMTA® is the oldest and largest international, member-driven organization representing the massage therapy profession.
