Get to Know Nathan: A Quick Q&A
Where are you from?
I grew up in Davenport, Iowa and got my undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I’ve lived in the Cleveland area off and on since 2008, and I recently moved to the west side (Lakewood) for the first time.
When you’re not working, what do you do?
I love to spend time with my daughter, especially going to museums and sporting events and exploring the outdoors; I like to exercise; I play golf; I play guitar; I enjoy camping, hiking, and cycling.
Who should call you? What types of businesses or clients do you help?
Builders, tradespeople, business owners, homeowners, or anyone who finds themselves involved in a commercial or residential construction-related dispute.
When should they call you?
Builders and subcontractors should call if they’re not getting paid what they should be paid when they should be paid, when someone is threatening to sue them related to alleged design or construction defects or payment issues; residential and commercial property owners should call if a contractor has failed to perform work they agreed to do or have been paid to do, and if faulty construction has caused them problems with their home.
