Mark Mendelbaum, Marketing and Communications for Americorps VISTA | Mid-Ohio Foodbank
“Nate spoke at a VISTA Conference that I attended about Social Media. He was an outstanding speaker and answered some questions afterward that I had about social media. He was very engaging and made sure that the presentation was entertaining as well. The three hours that he spoke taught me so much about social media and was able to apply these concepts to my real life. One month later, I’m starting to gain to build quite a reputation in the social media world! I fully endorse Nate for any speaking engagement or anything related to social media!”
