Nate grew up in San Diego in a military household with two high performing parents. He picked up the game of golf at the age of 6 and dabbled in a variety of other sports but eventually gravitated towards Lacrosse, which he played throughout his college career at Cal State Long Beach while studying Kinesiology.

His background in Kinesiology and passion for fitness and athletics led him to start his career at UGP as a Fitness Trainer in 2017.

Since joining UGP, he has helped enrich each department, from fitness training to golf coaching to assisting our COO, Leo Rooney, in opening our 2nd UGP Location in Orange County and eventually becoming OC’s performance manager. He is now our Chief of Staff, managing the team’s performance across all locations, improving processes and structure, and overseeing the recruiting, hiring, and onboarding processes for new team members. Nate’s biggest passion is the TEAM. His goal is to make working at UGP the most fulfilling career in the Golf Industry and to create a thriving environment where any teammate can reach their full potential.
