VANDERGRIFT
Nate Vandergrift is currently studying Sport Administration at Laurentian University and has a strong passion for the business side of sports, especially sponsorship, partnerships, and fan engagement. Originally from Ottawa, Nate has always been interested in how sports bring communities together and create memorable experiences for fans both on and off the field. Nate chose to work in sports because it combines two things he enjoys most: business and sports. Growing up around sports, he developed a passion for the energy, culture, and community that sports create.
