Nathan served two terms on council, where he quickly built a reputation for asking the right questions, listening to residents, and working hard to make thoughtful, practical decisions. During this time, he married his wife, Kelsey, a teacher from St. Paul, and in 2013 the couple chose to make St. Paul their permanent home. Together they are raising their two daughters, Lily and Veronica, and are proud to be active members of the community.

Professionally, Nathan transitioned from journalism to the energy sector, beginning as a field production operator in the Elk Point area. His drive to learn and adapt soon led to promotions, and today he works on an optimization team at the district level. In this role, he analyzes field data and provides actionable insights to improve efficiency and decision-making across the company. His work has been recognized at the highest levels of corporate leadership.

Despite his career success, Nathan’s passion has always been municipal governance and community service. That passion started in his teenage years with his involvement in Alberta Youth Parliament, a program with more than a century of history inspiring young leaders. With over 13 years of municipal council experience, Nathan understands that effective leadership begins with listening, asking questions, and working collaboratively to find solutions.

Nathan brings that same commitment home, where he and Kelsey make it a priority to engage their daughters in conversations about their community, their province, and the world around them. He believes in building not only a stronger St. Paul for today, but also a community that inspires the next generation to lead with integrity and purpose.
