Nate Van Haute

Nate grew up in flat Nebraska but escaped to the mountains as quick as he could. He's worked as a ski instructor, a rock climbing guide, and a study abroad teacher. Writing gives him the freedom to travel the world, which he takes advantage of most months of the year. Your best chance at finding him is at a crag or coffee shop in Latin America.
