edit data

Nate Methot grew up in suburban South Burlington, Vermont, with his mother, father, and older brother, Nick. He attended public schools and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Vermont. He began a career at a securities broker/dealer in Montpelier after college and currently works part-time for the firm.

Before his ALS diagnosis, he enjoyed running, hiking, skiing, camping, golf, and basketball, as well as playing and listening to music, and spending time with a group of fun-loving goofballs.

He lives with his parents in Hinesburg, Vermont, and spends much of his time reading, writing, going for “walks” in his motorized wheelchair, and importantly, eating.

Written in 2004, much of it rings even more true today. How sad you must be, KV, looking down from heaven. (Inside joke; KV was an atheist.)
