Get to know Nate

As the Project Managers’ Supervisor at SWF Industrial, Nate leads a team of 16 project managers and estimators, strategizing, supporting, and driving results across a wide range of jobs. With a steady hand and sharp focus, he helps align teams with SWF’s growth goals while ensuring every project meets the company’s high-quality standards.

One of Nate’s proudest achievements? Overseeing the successful completion of a complex, seven-figure project that passed stringent radiographic and ultrasonic weld testing—a true testament to his team’s precision and dedication.

Nate thrives on challenge. Whether it’s landing a major order, closing out a profitable job, or seeing a strong backlog on the books, he’s motivated by progress and momentum. His leadership style is all about balance: focused, but flexible; serious, but grounded. He knows when to push and when to roll with the punches—an approach that keeps him and his team resilient in a fast-paced industry.

Outside of work, Nate is passionate about being a good role model for his son. You’ll often find him racing dirt bikes in the woods or handling his own mechanical repairs—not because he loves it, but because he’d rather do the work himself than pay someone else. His personal motto? “The idea is to die young as late as possible.”

Above all, Nate values integrity in leadership, in work, and in life.
