Experience
Nathan Koozer has had experience writing pieces for the National Park Service over the last 10 years. A busted dam, George Washington's first major military exploit (and defeat), a railroad built to conquer a mountain, the country home of Albert Gallatin, and the heroes of United Flight 93 are some of the stories that Nathan has written about. Nathan has a strong desire to get beneath the surface of any story to determine the facts. Nathan is not interested in passing along what has already been written, but providing his own unique interpretation for any writing topic.
