About Nate Melek
Nate is a U of M grad, but previously he was a college baseball player at Oklahoma State and University of New Mexico. Nate was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays back in 2006 where he chased his dreams of becoming a Major Leaguer. After his career in baseball he moved back home to MN and finished out his last year of college in business and marketing classes here at the U.
Nate has always had the ambition and drive to become a business leader, and more specifically of his own businesses in which he has been an important part of a few times. Nate's newest and most recent venture is called Think Local MN. Nate aims to connect communities, their residents and the locally owned businesses, events, news and weather by utilizing his patented proprietary tech mobile/web app as an advertising/marketing and promotional tool for businesses to gain a stronger, more personal reach with their current and future customer base.
