I am Nathan. Thanks for visiting my site.

Professionally, I seek to shape systems that provide cheap, clean energy for humanity. I recently concluded two years scaling carbon removals at Carbon Direct. Previously I was a member of McKinsey and Company.

I studied energy and climate science at Harvard College. My research foci were: energy system development & forest carbon cycling.

Now I live in Seattle, WA.

Here you'll find some of my photography.

I built this website as a side project in early 2026. Thank you to Dylan Wilson for designing my logo from a sketch that I passed you in middle school. It combines my initials (NO) with the outline of shutter blades in a camera lens. Thank you also to Claude Code.
