Nate's Bio

I graduated from Northeastern in May with a journalism degree.

Northeastern, in case you don't know, is the school of Dan Ross, a Super Bowl record holder, Reggie Lewis, a former Celtics captain, and Carlos Pena, current first baseman for Tampa Bay.

I spent much of my time at NU working for the Northeastern (now Huntington News), working as a beat writer and sports editor. I've covered everything from the baseball team's spring training scrimmage against the Red Sox, to the Beanpot and a women's soccer NCAA tournament game.

I've written for several publications including the Hartford Courant, Metro Boston, Bangor Daily News, Worcester Telegram, NEPA Bulletin, Cafe Abroad, and serve as a correspondent for The College Baseball Blog. I'm also a member of the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association.

I was probably a part of the only left handed second base platoon in history back in the day, in addition to seeing time in the outfield and first. My ability to draw walks was probably overshadowed by the high strikeout totals and low hit totals, but hey, I had a good time.

That's me golfing in Scotland. I was in Dublin last spring and I would give anything to go back.

  8. thanks for the feedback my friend went to Northeastern

  9. Thanks for reading my article and fixing it up Nate.

  10. Nate, thanks for the edits on my article.

  11. Looking below I guess you have helped a lot of other people out as well. Thanks a ton on my article. I was staring at it for a while and was just in the place where I can't do much else with it, I needed a fresh set of eyes.

    Thanks a ton.

  12. Thanks for the help on my Varitek article Nate. I tried to take out a few redundant sentences to shorten it up a bit more as you suggested. I also goofed on Varitek's career BA and listed his 2007 season BA at .255 instead of your very correct .264. Given the subject of the article I shoudn't be stripping the guy of a very needed .009 off his lifetime numbers.

    Thanks for the help.

    Eddie
