Nathan was an Outward Bound instructor from 1999-2001. For the last 15 years he has been an elite super athlete and is the captain of the highly successful NZ Adventure Racing team. The team has won three Southern Traverses, Eco Challenge, Outdoor Quest and many other epic events worldwide. Nathan is currently a professional athlete and motivational speaker.

In between time with his sport and his family, he is a passionate supporter of Outward Bound, and plans to return to Anakiwa to work.

“As our society speeds towards modern disease, lethargy and other social ills, I believe the true value of Outward Bound will be increased. Outward Bound serves to remind people what is humanly possible and the value of human relationships, with each other, and the earth. I also believe Outward Bound holds the key to unlocking people’s spirit and setting them free. As an instructor, I witnessed this time and time again.”
