Occupational Therapy Assistant

All about Justine coming soon!
Nate is originally from Michigan and moved to Arizona 30 years ago. He became a Certified Occupational Therapist 3 years ago from PIMA Medical Institute after owning and working for 7 years in a therapeutic foster care home for adults with severe mental illness. 
After his first son was born, he found a love for working with children, which actually suits his creative and fun personality to a tee. Nate believes that laughter is the key to heal and to motivate, and he's been known to crack a good joke or two!  Before joining Milestone, Nate worked in the Kyrene School District focusing on handwriting and sensory-based therapies but from his previous profession, he is very experienced with working on activities of daily living.
Marrying into a Mexican family has really broadened and deepened his love for culture and family, and outside of work, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and two toddler sons traveling to new and different places around the world.
