Nathan is 2 time novice, 2 time junior national champion, and 1 time national bronze medalist, as well as 2014 Junior Worlds bronze medalist.
He has had great career so far,even for such young age, and apart from junior worlds this year, he never finished off the podium at international competitions.
2014-2015 season wasnt easy for him with all the injuries and growing, but to me he is still one of the most promising skaters from US for the future; I just hope he can stay injury free and not train too hard.
I love his skating. He has got great Step Sequences, spins, andgreat jumps (although not very high yet), and overall quality elements.
