Nate has lived in rural Colorado all his life. He has been involved in agriculture since he was a small child. Growing up his family raised cattle and horses on their ranch outside of Cripple Creek. After moving to Crawford, Colorado in 1998, his family continued to raise horses and cattle. Nate actively participated in 4-H and FFA where he furthered his passion for agriculture. In 2006, the family cattle operation increased and Nate began looking to expand his grazing land as well. After the land and cattle expansion, Nate became involved with the Delta County Livestock Association. Just a couple of years after becoming a board member Nate was elected President. Since becoming President, he has organized several events to bring awareness about agriculture to the Delta County communities. He is also a member of the Federal Lands committee for the Colorado Cattleman’s Association. In Nate’s free time he helps his wife, Kim, get their 3 young boys to their many activities that they are involved in.
