Fun facts about Nate:

* Nate is a Pastor's kid. His father preaches at the Capitol Christian Center

* Nate's Grandfather wrote some famous hymns! Three of them include: "Mansion Over a Hilltop," "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow," and "Room at the Cross."

* Nate's dream duet is with Christiana Aguliera.

* Nate is sloppy.

* Nate wishes he'd been named Chandler. But, since he's not, he says that if he ever has kids, he will name one of them that.

* Nate is the gullable one of the group.

* When Nate first joined Plus One, he went by Nathan. He shortened his name because there was already a Nathan.

* Nate's most humiliating moment on stage was this: They were starting a concert, and they always start off with "My Life," and run on stage when the song starts. Nate started running up the stairs and they were on rollers. His feet flew out from underneath him and he went flying.

* Nate's favorite thing at his favorite restaurant, Chili's, is either steak fajitas or chicken crispers.

* Nate's bad habit is talking too much and too loud. He also always has to win an argument, and he can never be wrong.

* If he wasn't in the music business, Nate would be playing golf and trying to get on the PGA tour.

* The others say that Nate is a good speaker at concerts because he knows their heart as a group and verbalizes that well.

* Nate's first lunch box was Scooby Doo.

* If Plus One ever came to a close, Nate would still stay in the ministry, write songs, and maybe be a solo artist.
