Meet the Team: Nate Tate

How long have you been with NOC?

Since Oct 2023

Early bird or night owl?

Early bird

Favorite movie?

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (otherwise its Back to The Future.)

What is on your playlist right now?

Right now, Christmas music, other than that, everything except classical. My typical playlist is a smorgasbord of 70s, 80s, 90s alternative rock (always the best), or country.

If you had a free day, completely to yourself with no responsibilities, how would you spend it?

If I weren’t with my family, probably play golf.

Favorite local restaurant?

Hawthorne Inn. I enjoy everything there. I have never had anything there that I didn't like.

Favorite “hidden gem” in Missouri?

Charlie Gitto’s on the Hill, an Italian restaurant in St. Louis.

What do you feel like you bring to the team?

A much different perspective on the business itself. I came to NOC as a client myself before joining the team. Having an outsider’s perspective allows me to advocate for our clients in the areas that they need it the most. I’m excited to meet our customers and develop a stronger relationship with them.

Favorite IT tech tip or hack?

As far as gadgets go, I love my reMarkable. Beyond that, I am a big proponent of keeping your desktop backed up to cloud storage (via OneDrive or Google Drive) with a desktop folder set to auto-sync.

If you could give NOC Clients one piece of advice to improve their relationship with the technology that they use, what would it be?

Embrace technology. I use it simplify every aspect of my life. Inefficiency is my biggest pet-peeve, and I try to streamline as much as I can with technology to make everything I do more efficient and effective.
