Nathan was born in Big Fork, Montana to Jennifer and Patrick Richards. Nathan grew up loving the outdoors, spending most of his time amongst the trees and rocks of the Glacier National Forest, with which his family was responsible for maintaining and protecting. While his parents hadn't been members of Starfleet, Nathan had grown up hearing stories from other family members about their lives among the stars and it spurred his imagination. He began to dream of a life among the stars, aboard a starship, searching for new life and technology. From then on, Nathan knew he wanted to join Starfleet. | |||
All through his schooling, Nathan kept up on any technical manuals and articles that he could get his hands on to keep track of the advancements in technology and scientific discoveries. It was well within his second to last year of schooling when he decided that he wanted to be an Engineer when he finally ventured out and joined Starfleet Academy. | |||
His interest in Engineering really started when he would spend time with his father restoring antique cars and even airplanes in their spare time. He was always fascinated by what made each and every part work and how they effected everything else. As a final project in his Senior year of High School, Nathan managed to create a scale model of the original Phoenix Warp ship with a miniature warp core that *almost* worked. During his presentation, the output from the miniature warp core overloaded the electrical systems, causing a small explosion resulting in the area needing to be evacuated. Even with the small catastrophe, Nathan walked away with passing grade and was able to graduate. | |||

It would have been an understatement to say that Nathan was excited when he was accepted into Starfleet Academy. His major was of course selected as Engineering with a specialty in propulsion, and his minor settled into Helm and Ops. Proudly, he excelled within both his major and minor fields, with only a few hold ups along the way. One particular evening found Nathan and several of his classmates "commandeering" some of the Academy's training shuttles for a late night race around San Fransisco Bay. With shenanigans aside, Nathan continued to focus on his studies and graduated from Starfleet Academy. | |||

{{LCARS-bar-heading|Service Record|COLOR=#BB8A33}} | It wasn't long before Nathan received word of his very first posting aboard Amity Outpost. What he hadn't expected was the 6 weeks of travel onboard a Quantum Slipstream Vessel. During this downtime, Nathan had plenty of opportunity to study up on the facilities that Amity Outpost had to offer, as well as the crew and Command. But all of the reading he had done could never have prepared him for the adventures and people that he was going to meet once he arrived.{{LCARS-bar-heading|Service Record|COLOR=#BB8A33}} | ||
