Multi-platinum producer, Michael Beinhorn, said this about working with Nathaniel, "Of all the engineers I've worked with in over 20 years of producing records, Nathaniel is one of the very few who possess virtually every significant attribute one can hope for under that job description. Aside from his obvious engineering and technical skills, Nate is unflappable in a recording studio and (wonder of wonders!) possesses a pair of very astute, accurate and musical ears. There is another thing about Nate that sets him even further apart from his peers; the innate ability to embrace new ways of doing things and a constant desire to develop his craft.
