Biography
Nathan Notorious was born 12 August 1994 to parents Natasha and Lou. My parents were from Belleville Illinois and Chicago, Illinois respectively. I grew up in a middle-income household, my parents did the best they could for me and encouraged me to follow my dreams. They fostered my individuality to a very high degree, and it helped make me the leader that I am today. I've always wanted to add my own personal touch to everything I had a part in. The biggest impact my parents had on me is my work ethic. Both of my parents were entrepreneurs and they worked extremely hard all the time. Even our family vacations involved work to some degree. In my early years this individualism manifested in my creativity. I never wanted to be at school I just wanted to create art. This turned into a nightmare for my parents because the school would always call and complain about me ending my career as an artist in 2003. My school was satisfied but I wasn’t my soul still longed to create. I didn’t get that opportunity again until middle school. In the 7 th grade I taught myself how to play guitar and started a band. Dalvez Owens, Jonathan Holman, Martin Holman and Malcom Holman were my other bandmates. We had other members come and go but we were the main members and from this we formed a lifelong friendship. This continued throughout high school until we all joined the military at our own times. Malcom Holman, Martin Holnam and Jonathan Holman have all gone back to making music under the names of Wolfgame and Soulflow. Before joining the military, I went to Warsaw, Poland as a foreign exchange student. I lived in the Ochota and Podkowa Lesna neighborhoods. I made many friends in Poland and have remained in contact with them after many years. Once I returned from Poland, I joined the United States Marine Corps. I spent most of my time overseas in places like Japan, Australia, Thailand, Philippines, United Kingdom, Turkey, Afghanistan and many other places. All the time traveling and meeting people from different cultures has helped me find out things about myself that I think many people search for all their lives. I'm extremely grateful for all the people that have come into my life, and I hope I never forget them. I currently want to do my best to make the world a better place by helping others become their best selves. I currently mentor and coach about 100 people monthly.
Early Life
My Early life was very eventful due to family events. I moved very often in the beginning. I was born in Belleville, Illinois and then my family moved to Tupelo, Mississippi and then to Monroe, Louisiana. Then we moved back to the St. Louis Bi-state area where I ultimately, graduated high school from Cahokia School of Choice. While growing up I was not interested in much of the things other children liked. I did not enjoy many games or toys. But I was always interested in money and how to do things by myself. My mother always tells me about the time she came to pick me up from school on career day and the teachers pulled her to the side because, when they were asking everyone what they wanted to be when they grow up, I said I wanted to be myself. Other children said they wanted to be doctors or lawyers, but I was firm in my choice to be myself. This really showed as I grew into a young adult. Every team I was on or Group that I was a part of I was always picked to be the leader. I participated in key club and rotary club for my school. in 2011, one of our biggest projects outside of raising money to end polio, was repainting the playgrounds in our city

I started my business adventure as a solo entrepreneur performing as a personal assistant to various people in my community. I then got a third job working under a well performing business owner as a bar assistant. I took a break from work from 2012-2013 to go to school in Warsaw, Poland. I returned to the US in the summer of 2013 and joined the United States Marine Corps. While in the Marines from 2013-2017 I worked as a wire repair technician and aviation navigations systems supervisor. Then from 2017-2020 I worked as a Marine Security Guard.
