===Personal History===
Born to a loving family, Nathan was always curious about almost everything. He would continuously sneak into the station's cargo facilities and get into his fair share of trouble. His life of mischief ended abrubtly when he was eleven years old. It was when he learned of the tragedy of Wolf 359 and the distruction of the USS Melbourne, where his Uncle was assigned. From then on, with minor tendencies toward day dreaming and extended holodeck activites, Nathan started on track to following in his Uncle's footsteps and to become an Engineer. He studied technical journals, examined holographic warp cores, and talked with the many freight captains who visted the station. He even helped Dr. Lewis Zimmerman as a part-time lab assistant when he was 15.

He applied for and was accepted to Starfleet Academy when he was 17. He progressed nicely through warp mechanics and subspace theory. However, even though he was a good marksman and pilot, he continued on the engineering track through out his first years. Nathan turned in his paper on advanced theoretical warp mechanics in his third year and got high marks. He was to graduate in the upper 15 percent of his class when he was offered a chance to take a training mission at Starbase 118 near the end of his final year.

During the same mission, a freak electrical shock from his EVA suit from a phaser blast left Nathan technically dead. The CMO was able to revive him, but he was left with hypersensitive hearing due to a loss of magnesium in his auditory area.

For unknown reasons, Nathan took another extended LOA. He has yet to report those activities to Starfleet. All that is known is that Nathan got his Masters Degree in Subspace Mechanics from MIT on Earth. He returned 3 years later to continue his Starfleet career.

After a brief stint back in Starfleet serving on the Indria-A, Nathan's thirst for knowledge was too great and he retired from active service to begin work on earning his PhD. After four years of study, he earned a double doctorate in Subspace Mechanics and Warp Theory from Princeton University on Earth. Though he has done several standard papers regarding warp drive and subspace properties, Nathan's focus has turned to understanding the new FTL propulsion technology being applied to Starfleet ships. Specifically: Quantum Slipstream.
The general ideas behind the latest engine tech seem straightforward enough, but actually getting information on the specifications of the engine designs or even seeing one up close is difficult due to the classified nature of the project. However, his goal of working with Quantum Slipstream is too
