Nate is the founder of the White Thunder BBQ YouTube channel. He has a wife with three kids, that can sometimes be seen in the video helping or just passing through. He is also a software engineer; however, his passion is grilling.

Nate discovered his passion for grilling after his oldest daughter and wife gifted him a weber grill on his first Father’s Day. He began learning to grill, live fire cooking, and temperature control through a trial and error method (AKA many, many errors and late dinners).

Since Nate lives in Central NY, he grills in all types of weather, mainly the snow.

Nate believes that you can grill in any type of inclement weather. He has grilled appetizers, meats, breads, desserts, you name it. Nate truly enjoys making every one of his videos. His hope is to inspire others that view his videos to share the same passion and attempt the recipes.
