Nate Smith

Nate joined Piton Exploration in 2021, coming with a diverse skillset that ranges from economics to wildland firefighting to software development. Nate enjoys the varied nature of Piton’s projects and likes learning the processes that led to the geology arriving in its current state, observing the local animals and plants, carrying rocks around in his backpack, and overall just moving in the mountains. When not in the field, Nate applies his background in web development toward other related problems such as mapping with GIS, communications equipment, and other tech problems. Outside of work, Nate likes to run and ski around Anchorage, read, and cook his favorite meal of the day, breakfast.
