Nathan joined Epic Mountain Express (formerly Colorado Mountain Express) in 1995 and rapidly pursued new roles to gain wide experience within the organization. Nathan assumed the responsibilities as General Manager in 2018, after previously serving as Director of Operations for eight (8) years. In this time, he has navigated the company through the Epic Mountain Express rebranding, and developed high-performing teams and systems that have strategically positioned the company for improved financial performance. Nathan has received numerous awards for financial, safety, and guest service performance, and leads the annual Fill-the-Van food drive which provides over 30,000 lbs. of food to our local communities.  

Nathan is passionate about spending time outdoors, and enjoys skiing and mountain biking to an illogical degree. Most important, however, is his time participating with youth baseball organizations, where he shares a passion for the sport with his son.

Nathan serves on the Boards of Directors for the Airport Ground Transportation Association (AGTA), the St. James Place Condo Association, and the Colorado I-70 Coalition. His work on the I-70 Coalition provides advocacy for improvements on the I-70 mountain corridor, including the support of funding initiatives and the development of travel demand management strategies, to ensure the sustained success of this critical mountain corridor.
